INTRODUCTION. The arrangement of the material of the Bibliography and Index for 1903 is similar to that adopted for the preceding annual bibliographies. Bulletins Nos. 130, 135, 146,149, 156, 162, 172 (combined in Bulletins 188 and 189), 203, 221, and 240. Bibliography. The bibliography consists of full titles of separate papers, arranged alphabetically by authors' names, an abbreviated reference to the publication in which the paper is printed, and a brief, description of the contents, each paper being numbered for index reference. Index. The subject headings, their subdivisions and arrangement, are shown in the classified key to the index, which immediately pre­ cedes the index. Reference is made in each entry by author's name and number of article in the bibliography. The series of annual bibliographies has been prepared solely from publications received by the library of the United States Geological Survey. On January 1, 1903, the writer was placed in charge of the library of this organization, and an effort has since been made to pro­ cure the publications which were not noticed in the bibliographies of previous years, it being known that there were a considerable number of omissions of geological papers. Many of these are noted in this bulletin. Mr. John M. Nickles has again assisted in the compilation of this work, and credit is due him for its careful preparation and completeness.
