Historical Note
In 1907, the United States Geological Survey (USGS) established the Subsection of Coastal Plain Investigations within its Geologic Branch. In 1913, the name was changed to the Section of Coastal Plain Investigations. Working closely with the state geological surveys, the Section was responsible for the general study of the geology of the Atlantic and Gulf coastal plains of the United States. Subjects of its investigations included physiography, stratigraphy, geologic structure, paleontology, sedimentology, and ground waters. In 1936, as a part of a reorganization of the USGS, the Section of Coastal Plain Investigations was merged with the Section of Paleontology and Stratigraphy under the latter name.
T. Wayland Vaughan (1870-1952) was appointed Geologist in charge of coastal plain investigations in 1907. He remained in charge of the Section until 1923 when he resigned to become Director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Lloyd William Stephenson (1876-1962), who had served as Vaughan's assistant since 1907, was promoted to succeed him as Chief of the Section. Stephenson remained in the post until 1936 when the Section of Coastal Plain Investigations was abolished. From 1936 until his retirement in 1947, he served as a Geologist in the Section of Paleontology and Stratigraphy. After his retirement, Stephenson continued his research on Cretaceous paleontology with the USGS on a voluntary basis.
Other geologists on the staff of the Section of Coastal Plain Investigations included C. Wythe Cooke, 1910-1936; Julia A. Gardner, 1920-1936; Watson H. Monroe, 1930-1936; and Wendell P. Woodring, 1919-1936.

Introduction
The 1879 act establishing the United States Geological Survey (USGS) declares "And all collections of rocks, minerals, soils, and fossils, and objects of natural history, archaeology, and ethnology, made by the Coast and Interior Survey, the Geological Survey, or by any other parties for the Government of the United States, when no longer needed for investigations in progress, shall be deposited in the National Museum." Many of the paleontologists affiliated with the USGS Paleontology and Stratigraphy Branch have been stationed at the National Museum of Natural History (NMNH) to study and care for the national collections. This close working relationship between the USGS and the NMNH has resulted in the Smithsonian Archives acquiring records and special collections documenting paleontological work of the Survey and its scientists.
Descriptive Entry
This collection contains records concerning the official work of the Section of Coastal Plain Investigations, United States Geological Survey (USGS), as well as papers documenting the paleontological research and professional activities of Lloyd William Stephenson and T. Wayland Vaughan. Apparently, when the Section of Coastal Plain Investigations was abolished in 1936, Stephenson took many of the old files with him to his new position as a Geologist with the Section of Paleontology and Stratigraphy. Therefore, materials prior to 1936 consist primarily of records documenting the geological work of the Section of Coastal Plain Investigations, USGS. Most of these records were created by Vaughan and Stephenson in their capacity as Section Chiefs. Smaller amounts of records were created by Section geologists including C. Wythe Cook, Julia A. Gardner, Watson H. Monroe, and Wendell P. Woodring. Material created after 1936 documents Stephenson's research on Cretaceous paleontology.
The majority of the collection consists of correspondence arranged in four separate series. Included is general correspondence which primarily documents Stephenson's official and professional activities, 1913-1956; correspondence (arranged by state) with paleontologists, state geologists, and economic geologists which mostly documents surveys and other work of the Section of Coastal Plain Investigations, 1907-1945; letters concerning Vaughan's research on fossil corals of Mexico, the West Indies, and South America, 1912-1933; and correspondence with paleontologists, museums, and universities concerning the identification, loan, and acquisition of invertebrate fossil specimens, 1913-1946.
The collection also contains material concerning the geology of Texas. Stephenson's work preparing part of the geological map of Texas is documented by correspondence, maps, and charts. Also included are various records concerning the examination of stratigraphic samples submitted by oil companies drilling prospecting wells in Texas.
Lastly the collection contains administrative records of the Section of Coastal Plain Investigations including personnel files and monthly reports; manuscripts written and reviewed by Stephenson; and collected geological charts.

Series 1: GENERAL CORRESPONDENCE, 1913-1956, AND UNDATED. ARRANGED ALPHABETICALLY BY CORRESPONDENT. This series consists mostly of incoming and outgoing correspondence of Lloyd William Stephenson. Correspondence until 1936 documents Stephenson's official duties in the Section of Coastal Plain Investigations, USGS, as well as his research on Cretaceous paleontology. Also included are smaller amounts of pre-1936 correspondence of T. Wayland Vaughan, C. Wythe Cooke, Watson H. Monroe, Julia A. Gardner, and Wendell P. Woodring. Letters written and received after 1936 document Stephenson's research activities as a Geologist with the Section of Paleontology and Stratigraphy, USGS. The correspondence documents the publication of scientific manuscripts; the examination and identification of fossil specimens; involvement in professional societies and committees, especially Stephenson's work on the Committee on Stratigraphy of the National Research Council; and field investigations of USGS geologists, especially Watson H. Monroe. Correspondents are mostly professional paleontologists and geologists working in both the taxonomic and economic aspects of the field.
