the gas inspector, Bryce A. Kinney, which is followed by a short 
article by Prof. Blatchley on the utilization of convict labor in the 
making of road material. The petroleum industry of Indiana, by 
Blatchley, concludes the geological part of the book. He states 
that "The output for 1904 was greater than in any previous year, 
both in the number of barrels produced and in value, though the 
average market price declined nearly seven cents. Since 1898 each 
year has seen an increase in production, and in the seven years has 
more than trebled." The most important development during the 
year was in the Munsie-Parker-Selma field whei'e a third "pay 
streak" was discovered 240 to 300 feet below the top of the Tren- 
ton rock at this place. The output for 1904 was 11,330,030 barrels 
valued at $12,127,107. The last article is by Melville T. Cook on 
the "Insect galls of Indiana." j. w. b.
