Publications ] of Dr. Ebenezeb Emmons. 
1824. — A sketch of the geology and mineralogy of the western part of 
Massachusetts and a small part of the adjoining states, by Chester 
Dewey (Amer. Jr. Sri. vol. viii. pp. 1-60), — the first paper in which 
Dr. Emmons is quoted. Prof essor Dewey says : "Dr. E. Emmons, 
of Chester, from whom I have received many valuable remarks mi 
the rocks." and also: "Most of the minerals of Middlefield and 
Chester have been discovered by Dr. E. Emmons, of Chester, an in- 
defatigable and acute observer." From Dewey's paper we learn 
that Dr. Emmons read before the Lyceum of Natural History of the 
Berkshire Medical Institution a paper upon "The Minerals of 
Middlefield and Chester," and that professor Dewey made use of it 
for his catalogue of ••single minerals," pp. 31-60 at the end of his 
memoir. As the Lyceum of Berkshire never published anything, 
very likely Dr. Emmons' first paper was never published in full, 
and all we know of it is through professor Dewey. In fact. Dr. Em- 
mons collaborated to such an extent, for the observations and the 
geological map of the "sketch" of Dewey, that it may be said with 
justice that it is a joint paper of Dewey and Emmons.
