[Bulletin No. 115.]

The publications of the United States Geological Survey are issued in accordance with the statute approved March 3, 1879, which declares that "The publications of the Geological Survey shall consist of the annual report of operations, geological and economic maps illustrating the resources and classification of the lands, and reports upon general and economic geology and paleontology. The annual report of operations of the Geological Survey shall accompany the annual report of the Secretary of the Interior. All special memoirs and reports of said Survey shall be issued in uniform quarto series if deemed necessary by tlie Director, but other­ wise in ordinary octavos. Three thousand copies of each shall be published for scientific exchanges and for sale at the price of publication; and all literary and cartographic materials received in exchange shall be the property of the United States and form a part of the library of the organization; and the money resulting from the sale of such publications shall be covered into the Treasury of the United States." On July 7,1882, the following joint resolution, referring to all Government publications, was passed by Congress: 1 'That whenever any document or report shall be ordered printed by Congress, there shall be printed, in addition to the number in each case stated, the 'usual number' (1,734) of copies for binding and distribution among those entitled to receive them." Except in those cases in which an extra number of any publication has been supplied to the Survey by special resolution of Congress or has been ordered by the Secretary of the Interior, this office has no copies for gratuitous distribution.

LETTER OF TRANSMITTAl.

DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, U. S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY, DIVISION OF GEOGRAPHY, Washington, D. C'., January 15, 1894, SIR: I have the honor to transmit herewith for publication a geo­ graphic dictionary of Rhode Island. Very respectfully, HENRY GANNETT, Chief Topographer. Hon. J. W. POWELL, Director U. 8. 'Geological Survey.

A GEOGRAPHIC DICTIONARY OF RHODE ISLAND.

By HENRY GANNETT.

The Geographic Dictionary of Rhode Island, which constitutes this bulletin, is designed to aid in finding any geographic feature upon the atlas sheets of that State published by the U. S. Geological Survey. It contains all the names given upon those sheets, and no other. Under each name is a brief statement showing the feature it desig­ nates and its location, and opposite to it is the name of the atlas sheet or sheets upon which it is to be found. The atlas sheets upon which the State is represented are the result of a survey made at the joint expense of the U. S. Geological Survey and the State of Rhode Island. The scale upon which the sheets are published is 1:62500: that is, a distance of G2,500 inches upon the ground, or very nearly 1 mile, is represented by 1 inch upon the map. Relief, or variation of elevation, is represented by contour lines or lines of equal elevation above mean sea level, these contour lines being at vertical intervals of 20 feet; so that each successive contour indicates a level 20 feet higher than the one below it. Upon the map all water bodies, that is, bays, ponds, rivers, etc., are represented in blue; the contour lines representing the relief, together with the figures showing absolute elevations, are printe'd in brown; and the lettering and all lines indicating the works of man are printed in black. The area of the State is represented upon 15 sheets, each sheet com­ prising 15 minutes of latitude by 15 minutes of longitude. Each sheet, therefore, includes about 17£ miles from north to south and about 13 miles from east to west. Of these sheets only 4 lie entirely or vir­ tually within the State, the others including portions of the adjacent States of Massachusetts and Connecticut. The following is a list of the sheets, showing the names assigned to them and their limits in lati­ tude and longitude: 7 A GEOGRAPHIC DICTIONARY OF RHODE ISLAND. [BULL. 115.

The spelling of the names conforms to the decisions of the U. S. Board of Geographic Names. Rhode Island is one of the original thirteen States; it was the last to ratify the Constitution, which it did on May 29,1790. The boundary lines between Rhode Island on the one hand and Mas­ sachusetts and Connecticut on the other are extremely irregular, hav­ ing originated with early colonial charters, and having been modified subsequently by conventions and agreements, so that it is impossible to describe them in any other way than by representing them upon a map or by a detailed statement of courses and distances. The total area of the State is 1,250 square miles. Of this area 197 square miles are water surface, consisting of bays, ponds, rivers, etc., which, deducted from the total area, leaves 1,053 square miles of land surface. The State is divided into five counties, having land areas as follows:

Square Couuty. miles.
