ig8 The American Geologist. September, 1905 
and the "Report of 1902." In preparing the "Report of 
1905" it has seemed advisable owing to the diversity of 
subject matter, to publish the same in parts and, as usual, 
style such parts "Bulletins." Bulletin No. 1 — Underground 
Waters of Louisiana; Bulletin No. 2 — Magnetic Survey of 
Louisiana ; and Bulletin No. 3 — Tide Gage Work in Louisi- 
ana, have already been published and may be had gratis 
by addressing Dr. W. R. Dodson, director Experiment Sta- 
tion, Louisiana, at Baton Rouge, La. For the reports of 
1899 and T902 address "Director Sugar Experiment Sta.," 
Audubon Park, New Orleans, La.
