Systematic geology and paleontology; D, Petrography and mineralogy; E, Chem- 
istry and physics; F, Geography; G, Miscellaneous; H, Forestry; I, Irrigation; 
J, Water storage; K, Pumping water; L, Quality of water; M, General hydro- 
graphic investigations; N, Water power; 0, Underground waters; P, Hydrographic 
progress reports. This bulletin is the twenty-third in Series A, the complete list of
