For sale by ihe Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C...... Price 70 cents NOTE The Geological Survey, in 1930, 1931, 1933, and 1934, conducted an investigation of the geology and coal resources of the portion of the southeastern Oklahoma coal field extending northeastward from Coalgate to McAlester and thence east ward through Wilburton and Howe to the Oklahoma-Arkansas State line. The geologists have prepared separate reports on the areas for which they were respon sible. However, as these areas are adjacent and form a real unit, both geographi cally and geologically, the four reports are issued as parts of a single bulletin covering this portion of the southeastern Oklahoma coal field. No edition of the consolidated volume will be published, but the four parts can be bound together if desiied. n CONTENTS
