139 Fairbanks (Harold W.). Beview of our knowledge of the geology 
of the California Coast ranges. 
Geol. Soc. Am., Bull., vol. vi, pp. 71-102. 
Discusses the use of the term Coast ranges as employed by different 
geologists, gives a summary of previous work, and compares the age and 
relations of the Coast ranges and Sierra Nevada. Describes tbe charac- 
ter of tbe crystalline basement complex, the lithologic character, extent, 
and relations of the p re-Cretaceous series, the alteration of the eruptives, 
and the characteristics and relations of the roclcrj of the Klamath Moun- 
tains. Discusses the general features of the orographic movement, the 
paleontologic and stratigraphic evidence of the age of the sedimentary 
series, and the relations of the Cretaceous and pre-Cretaceous strata. 
Describes the Eocene and Miocene formations of these ranges. 
140 Auriferous conglomerate in California. 
Eng. and Mg. Jour., vol. lix, pp. 389-390. 
Describes the occurrence of an auriferous conglomerate in Siskiyou 
County, its geologic relations, and the structure of the region. 
141 Fairchild (H. L.). Glacial lakes of western New York. 
Geol. Soc. Am., Bull., vol. vi, pp. 353-374, pis. 18-23. 
Presents a hydrographic map of western New York, and in a table 
gives a list of extinct lakes, their altitudes, and estimated dimensions. 
Describes the history and phenomena of some of these glacial lakes. 
142 Lake Newberry the probable successor of Lake Warren. 
Abstract : Geol. Soc. Am., Bull., vol. vi, pp. 462-166. 
Discusses the evidences which indicate the formation, exteut, and 
duration of Lake Newberry. 
143 The kame-moraine at Eochester, N. Y. 
Am. Geol., vol. xvi, pp. 39-51, with map. 
Describes the location, topographic features, and the structure and 
composition of the Pinnacle Hills, in the vicinity of Rochester. De- 
scribes their morainic character and the process of their formation, and 
compares them with neighboring kame areas. 
144 Ferrier (W. F.). Crystals. 
Ottawa Nat., vol. ix, pp. 117-131. 
Describes the formation of crystals and reviews the literature of the 
subject. 
145 Foerste (Aug. F.). On Clinton conglomerates and wave marks in 
Ohio and Kentucky. With a resume of our knowledge of 
similar occurrences in other Silurian strata of these States, 
and their evidence upon probable land conditions. 
Jour, of Geol., vol. iii, pp. 50-60, and 169-197. 
Gives a description of observations, by the author and others, of 
rounded limestone pebbles and wave marks in the Cincinnati, Oneida, 
Medina, and Clinton groups in Ohio and Kentucky. Includes remarks 
on the occurrence of the Upper Silurian and Devonian formations in the 
same region, aresum6 of the facts regarding the geographic distribution 
of the pebbles and wave marks, and the conclusions to be drawn from 
them concerning the existence of land areas in Lower Silurian and Clin- 
ton times.
