By MYRON L. FUIXER, FREDERICK G. CLAPP, and BEETRAND L. JOHNSON. INTRODUCTION. To meet the urgent need which was felt for more definite information as to underground-water publications in the United States, plans for bibliographies of such literature were made, in 1903, on the organization of the division of hydrology. A bibliography of the publications of the United States Geological Survey, which has been the leading contributor to such literature, was prepared in accordance with these plans and published in 1905. The scope of the present bibliography has been extended to cover all publica­ tions in the United States which seemed likely to contain important references to underground waters, technical and trade journals as well as the more strictly scientific contributions being reviewed. The reports of the Canadian Geological Survey are also included. The list of publications examined will be found on page 6. The attempt has been made to render this compilation as complete as possible, to which end not only have the papers dealing mainly with under­ ground waters been reviewed but many general papers have been scanned for incidental references. There are 721 titles in the bibliography. As in the case of the previous bibliography, two distinct classes of readers were kept in mind in preparing the index, the first including those who are interested in the underground-water resources of special regions and the second those who are interested in some particular type of ground water or in one or more of the many problems of ground-water occurrence. For the benefit of the first class, comprehensive entries are given under States and other political or natural divisions, while the numerous subject entries will appeal to readers of the second class. The aim has been to assemble the subject entries into com­ prehensive groups, each including all references to papers containing material bearing on the subject of the group. The State entries will be found the most complete, as they include many which it is impossible to classify satisfactorily. The subj-ect entries, as in the preceding bibliography, are grouped into series of what may be termed principal subject entries, but a large number of entries, including those which it was impracticable to classify, together with numerous cross references, are included with the view of increasing the usefulness of the index. 5 6 UNDERGROUND-WATER LITERATUKE IN LIST OF PUBLICATIONS EXAMINED.
