    GEOLOGIC LITEEATURE ON NOETH AMERICA, 1785-1918. By John M. Nickles. Part I. BIBLIOGRAPHY. INTRODUCTION. The bibliography forming Part I of this compilation includes papers relating to the geology, paleontology, petrology, and miner¬ alogy of North America—specifically, the United States, the Domin¬ ion of Canada and Newfoundland, the Arctic regions north of the continent, Greenland, Mexico, Central America, Panama, and the West Indies, including Trinidad—and also the Hawaiian Islands. Geographic and descriptive writings and accounts of travels with incidental mention of geologic facts are not included. Textbooks published in America and works general in character by American authors are given, but general papers by foreign writers are excluded unless they have appeared in American publications. Papers by American writers on the geology of other parts of the world are not listed. The papers of each, author are listed in chronologic order by years with no definite order of arrangement in a year. For reference from Part II, the index (Bulletin 747), the last two figures of the year of publication, with a letter added if there is more than one paper in the year, have been used as a number placed in black-faced type before a title. The date on the title page of a publication has been accepted as the date of issue unless it is known to be grossly erroneous; in that case the real date has been added in brackets. In references to publications appearing in parts the date of the part cited has been used if it is given. If no date appears on a publica¬ tion, the year of issue has been supplied and placed in brackets at the end of the citation; for a few publications, even the approximate year of issue could not be ascertained. This compilation is in the main a cumulation of the series of biblio¬ graphies of North American geology issued by the United States Geological Survey as Bulletins 44 (1886), 75 (1887-89), 91 (1890), 99 (1891), included in 127 (1732-1891); 130, 135, 146, 149, 156, 162,
