Dr. J. B. Reeside, Jr., of the Geological Sur¬ 
vey came in today to say that he was instructed to take 
care of the large box of old Hayden Survey field sketches 
mostly the work of Elliott and Holmes in 1867, 68, 69, 
70 and 71. He said that the Survey was prepared to care 
for all such material, and directions were immediately 
given to have the box turned over to the Survey. 
Dr. Reeside stated that the present Survey had 
recently extended its work over the area surveyed and 
mapped by me and George Chittendon sixty years ago, and 
that in preparing the results in the Survey office they 
came across the Hayden Reports and at once threw away 
their work finding our work of 1875 superior.
