into the following series: A, Economic geology; B, Descriptive geology; C, Syste- 
matic geology and paleontology; D, Petrography and mineralogy; E, Chemistry and 
physics; F, Geography; G, Miscellaneous; H, Forestry; I, Irrigation; J, Water 
storage; K, Pumping water; L, Quality of water; M, General hydrographic investi- 
gations; N, Water power; O, Underground waters; P, Hydrographic progress reports. 
This bulletin is the fifty-fourth in Series A and the forty-fifth in Series E, the com- 
plete lists of which follow. (PP=Professional Paper, B=Bulletin, WS=Water- 
Supply Paper. )
