atic geology and paleontology; D, Petrography and mineralogy; E, Chemistry and 
physics; F, Geography; G, Miscellaneous; H, Forestry; I, Irrigation; J, Water stor- 
age; K, Pumping water; L, Quality of water; M, General hydrographic investiga- 
tions; N, Water power; 0, Underground waters; P, Hydrographic progress reports. 
This bulletin is the fifty-eighth in Series A, and the thirty-eighth in Series B, 
the complete lists of which follow. (PP= Professional Paper; B= Bulletin; WS=
