DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, Washington, D. C., November 11, 1903. SIR: I transmit herewith the manuscript for a " Catalogue and Index of the Publications of the Hayden, King, Powell, and Wheeler Sur­ veys," prepared ~by Mr. L. F. Schmeckebier, of the editorial division of the Geological Survey, and recommend that it be published in the Bulletin series of the Survey. The publications of these early Government organizations consti­ tute a storehouse of geographic, geologic, ethnologic, and archseologic information concerning the western portion of the United States; and though their usefulness may have diminished as a result of more detailed surveys and more precise work, I believe that this complete catalogue and consolidated index will be welcomed by many students, investigators, and librarians. Very respectfully, P. C. WARMAN, Editor. Hon. CHARLES D. WALCOTT, Director United States Geological Survey. 5 INTRODUCTION. The Held work of the four great surveys whose publications are catalogued and indexed herein was done between 1867 and 1879, when the United States Geological Survey was organized. The office work, such as the preparation of maps and reports, continued until several years later. As far as known to the writer, no complete list of the publications of these surveys has been issued. The last edition of the catalogue of the Hayden survey was published in 1879, and the last edition of the catalogue of the Wheeler survey was issued in 1881. These cata­ logues are necessarily incomplete, as all the publications of these surveys had not been issued at the time the catalogues were printed. The index is general in character, giving a bird's-eye view of the pub­ lications, and is not a compilation of details such as would be found in the indexes to the individual reports. For instance, it has been found impracticable to index generic and specific names in botany and zool­ ogy. The few specific or generic names appearing in the index are portions of the titles of papers. However, in order to give a general view of publications on zoolog}^ and botany, all entries referring to these subjects are subordinated under the headings: "Vertebrates;" "Vertebrates, fossil;" "Invertebrates;" "Invertebrates, fossil;" "Plants;" and "Plants, fossil." Likewise, all entries relating to eth­ nologic and archjBologic subjects are included in the group "Ethnology and Archaeology." All geographic entries are classified under names of States and Territories. The United States Geological Survey has no copies of these publi­ cations for distribution. For many suggestions at various stages of the work the writer is indebted to Mr. P. 0. Warman. L. F. S. 7 CATALOGUE AND INDEX OF THE PUBLICATIONS OF THE HAYDEN, KING, POWELL, AND WHEELER SURVEYS.

Clemens de Baillou 23 CYRUS THOMAS AND THE MOUND BUILDERS by Bennie C. Keel Introduction Over the past ten years the author has been intimately involved in research in the Cherokee area of North Carolina conducted by the Research Laboratories of Anthropology under the direction of Dr. Joffre L. Coe. In reviewing the literature pertaining to this area, I have become greatly interested in the gradual growth of knowledge of the prehistory of the region and particularly inter­ ested in the individuals who, as pio neers, have contributed so much to our present understanding of the past cultures found here. Three facets of this interest have grown simultaneously: the investigator's basic contributions to knowledge., the theoretical foundation which influenced his interpretation of the data, and the biography of the investigator. In view of these interests this paper will describe the major contributions of Cyrus Thomas to American archaeology, examine his theoretical position, and present some information about his life.

  • Obviously Real Wrecks Because-They Were Identified in the Process of Removal
    Historic Watercraft, Shreveport to Daingerfield obviously real wrecks because-they were identified in the process of removal. The Albany and Lessie are reliable because the information was derived from the U. S. Customs Service for the Port of New Orleans. However, it is surprising that the Lessie B, which caught fire 15 miles below Jefferson, is not mentioned in the Corps' annual reports concerning improvements to Cypress Bayou. Since project work was suspended in 1880 and did not resume until 1884, it appears that the wreck was quickly removed by its owners. If it had been in place in 1884, it would have been cited as a navigation hazard and removed as part of the ongoing work effort. Of the listed wrecks, it is probable that most were not part of the Jefferson trade, but rather were on the western route around the raft, which duplicated the Jefferson route through Soda Lake. This was definitely the case with the Cotton Plant, which was an upriver packet. The only vessels that definitely were going towards or away from Jefferson were the Albany (which was moving from Shreveport to Albany), the Lessie B. (which was moving from Jefferson to Shreveport), and the Mittie Stephens (which was moving from Shreveport to Jefferson). Whatever their destination, the distribution of these wrecks along the route west of Shreveport shows the relative difficulty in navigating various portions of the route to Jefferson. Contrary to popular conceptions, the portion of the route from the foot of Caddo Lake to Jefferson seems to have been extremely safe. Only two steamboats (Mittie Stephens and Lessie B.) were wrecked along this portion of the route, and both were by fire rather than by snags or other navigation hazards.

University of Northern Colorado Department of Earth Sciences (Earth & Atmospheric Sciences) 1970-2020 1 1956-1970s: THE FIRST YEARS, Tollefson the Magnificent The first tale I ever heard about how the Department of Earth Sciences started hearkens out of the mid-1950s. Oscar W. Tollefson, who had almost graduated from the Univ. of Colorado (Ph D in geology), found himself sitting next to Colorado State College (CSC) President Bill Ross on a commercial flight between Washington, D.C. and Denver. Tolley, as he was universally known in professional circles, was the loquacious sort and so of course he struck up a conversation with a guy who, it turns out, was an amateur rock , fossil, and mineral collector. Bill Ross came from a background in buildings and grounds and knew a lot about earth materials and weather! Though we don’t know exactly what was said in that four hours, we do know that Bill Ross recognized a rare enthusiasm for teaching and learning in the young Tolley. Ross also probably recognized that Tolley’s persuasiveness and persistence would go a long way at the growing College. The Earth Sciences academic program was founded at Colorado State College (CSC) in 1956 by Dr.

  • ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and Theworld
    CHAPTER 4 — ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and the World CHAPTER 4 ZOOLOGY Exploring the Biodiversity of Colorado and the World Jeffrey T. Stephenson, Before the Museum Paula E. Cushing, The first collections of specimens that make up what is now the Denver John R. Demboski, and Museum of Nature & Science were actually established well before the Frank-T. Krell founding of the institution in 1900, the selection of a board of trustees, or the construction of a building to house and exhibit the specimens. Edwin Carter (1830–1900) (Fig. 4.1) collected Colorado birds and mammals from the 1860s through the 1890s. Born in New York in 1830, Carter arrived in Colorado in 1859 hoping to make it rich in the goldfields, but he soon became interested in the region’s natural history. He learned hide tanning and, as his prospects for hitting the mother lode faded, he earned his living selling buckskin clothing that he handcrafted. Carter supplemented these earnings by mar- keting foodstuffs and other provisions to the growing population of successful and (mostly) unsuccessful prospectors flooding the region. His interest in nature turned to concern as he observed dwindling numbers of mammals and birds, owing largely to habitat destruction and overhunting. Period photographs of the area’s mining district show a landscape largely denuded of vegetation. By the 1870s, Carter noted that many animal species were becoming scarce. The state’s forests were being devastated, ranches and farms were replacing open prairie, and some species, including the last native bison in Colorado, were on the verge of extirpation or extinction.
