My dear sir: I take pleasure in communicating herewith for 

 publication as a bulletin of the State Museum a Geologic Map of 

 the Buffalo Quadrangle, prepared on the scale of 1 mile to the inch 

 and including the region about the city of Buffalo. 



In view of the zeal with which geologic science is studied in this 

 important center of population I am convinced that the map and 

 the accompanying explanation thereof will appeal to a large ele- 

 ment of our people. 



Very respectfully yours 



John M. Clarke 



Director 



Approved for publication May 18, iQOj
