References to mining, metallurgy, in< ;ral economies involving Liberia have been included, as have pa>ers'd lir g with physical geology, cartography^ hydrology, pedology, and relate subjects. Because the present fcnowledge of Liberian geology ilepjend ,vily on comparison with other areas, many reports on the geology of c^un ies adjacent to Liberia and the west African region are included. i Because this bibliography has been-comp in part from other bibliographies and authors' citations, andbecal we have not seen many ^pf the references listed, some of the papers in ced here may not r : v actually be germane to Liberian geology and ml ral industry, [AH such doubtful references are included so as not to in; idiVertently omit a use­ ful paper.
