NICKLES INTRODUCTION The bibliography of North American geology, including paleon­ tology, petrology, and mineralogy, for the years 1925 and 1926 con­ tains publications on the geology of the Continent of North America and adjacent islands and on Panama and the Hawaiian Islands. It includes textbooks and papers of general character by American au­ thors, but not those by foreign authors, except papers that appear in American publications. The papers, with full title and medium of publication are listed under the names of their authors, which are arranged in alphabetic order. The author list is followed by an index to the literature listed. The bibliography of North American geology is comprised in the following bulletins of the United States Geological Survey: No. 127 (1732-1892); Nos. 188 and 189 (1892-1900); No. 301 (1901-1905); No. 372 (1906-7); No. 409 (1908); No. 444 (1909); No. 495 (1910); No. 524 (1911); No. 545 (1912); No. 584 (1913); No. 617 (1914); No. 645 (1915); No. 665 (1916); No. 684 (1917); and No. 698 (1918) -1 These have been cumulated under the title " Geologic litera­ ture of North America, 1785-1918," in Bulletin 746 (Part I, Bibliography) and Bulletin 747 (Part II, Index). The series has been continued in Bulletins 731 (1919-20), 758 (1921-22), 784 (1923-24), and 802 (1925-26). Names applied to geologic formations before 1901 were listed in Bulletin 191. Subsequent lists appear in the Bibliography of North American geology in Bulletins 162, 172, 188, 203, 221, 240, 271, 301, 372, 409, 444, 495, 524, 545, 584, 617, 645, 665, 684, 698, 731, 758, and 784. To ascertain whether a name has been used it is necessary to consult each of these lists. The time and labor required for this consultation make it practically prohibitive. The Geological Sur­ vey's committee on geologic names maintains a manuscript list of these names on cards in a single alphabet and will gladly furnish on request information as to whether any particular name is preoccupied. 1 The Surrey's stock of these bulletins is exhausted; most of those later than No. 301 may be purchased from, the Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C., to whom inquiries and orders should be addressed. 1 Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia: Proceedings, vols. 76, 77. Phila­ delphia, Pa.
