also published in the biennial reports of the secretary of the 
Kansas State Board of Agriculture, in the Bulletins of the 
American Geological Society, and later published a few papers 
as bulletins of the United States Geological Survey, and in 
a number of other places. 
Chancellor F. H. Snow, of the University of Kansas, has 
done so much work in Kansas geology that it is difficult to 
describe it in a paragraph. Early in his career as professor 
of natural sciences in the University he began gathering fos- 
sils in the state, principally, though not wholly, vertebrate 
fossils in western Kansas. The results of his various dis- 
coveries were published from time to time in the Transactions 
of the Kansas Academy of Science and elsewhere. He has 
written no long monographic articles, but his various papers, 
if collected together, would constitute an important chapter 
in the literature of Kansas geology. Probably his most noted 
individual discovery was made in 1878 when he found the 
fossil skin of a Cretaceous reptile showing in a very perfect 
manner the scaly covering of the reptile’s body. His work as a 
museum builder was much greater than that of a writer on 
geology or paleontology, and the excellent museum of verte- 
brate and invertebrate fauna now in the University of Kansas 
is very largely due to his individual efforts. 
Prof. G. E. Patrick, while occupying the chair of chemistry 
and physics in the University of Kansas, from 1874 to 1883, 
inclusive, published a number of papers in connection with 
various phases of economic geology in Kansas, principally 
using the Transactions of the Kansas Academy of Science as 
a medium of publication. 
Mr. Joseph Savage, of Lawrence, formerly connected with 
the Hayden survey, published a number of short papers on 
different points in Kansas geology in the Transactions of the 
Kansas Academy of Science. 
Prof. S. W. Williston, who formerly occupied the chair of 
paleontology in the University of Kansas, and now holds a 
similar position in the University of Chicago, published a 
number of papers in the Transactions of the Kansas Academy 
of Science, dealing principally with phases of Kansas paleon- 
tology. He published many papers on paleontology in the 
Kansas University Quarterly, all of which had more or less 
of general geology. He was a member of the University Geo- 
logical Survey of Kansas under its present organization and
