Types of the Laramie flora
Lester Frank Ward
1887, Bulletin 37
I have in preparation a work on the flora of the Laramie group, in which will be described and figured a very large number of fossil plants, most of which were collected by myself in the seasons of 1881 and 1883 and the elaboration of which has occupied most of...

On the organization of scientific work of the general government
John Wesley Powell
1886, Report
Extracts from the testimony taken by the Joint commission of the Senate and House of representatives to "consider the present organizations of the Signal service, Geological survey, Coast and geodetic survey, and the Hydrographic office of the Navy department, with the view to secure greater efficiency and economy of administration."...
Geology and mining industry of Leadville, Colorado, with atlas
Samuel Franklin Emmons
1886, Monograph 12
The present work was undertaken at the instance of the Ron. Clarence King, first Director of the United States Geological Survey, in 1879. Itwas his intention that it should form part of a series of monographs which would in time include all the important mining districts of the country, and thus furnish...
Lists and analyses of the mineral springs of the United States: A preliminary study
Albert C. Peale
1886, Bulletin 32
In attempting the collection of data for the statement of the commercial value of the mineral waters of the country for publication in the report on the Mineral Resources of the United States, 1883 and 1884, it was necessary as a prerequisite to have a list of the springs from...

The gabbros and associated hornblende rocks occurring in the neighborhood of Baltimore, Maryland
George Huntington Williams
1886, Bulletin 28
Considerable attention has been devoted during late years to the metamorphism of igneous rocks, and it can now be regarded as placed beyond reasonable doubt that such rocks may be changed to more or less schistose masses, which often closely resemble crystallized sediments. This possibility has heretofore been largely ignored,...
Report of work done in the division of chemistry and physics mainly during the fiscal year 1884-85
Frank Wigglesworth Clarke
1886, Bulletin 27
The present bulletin contains some of the more important results obtained in the chemical laboratory of the United States Geological Survey during the fiscal year 1884—'85. It also contains two physical papers representing work which was mainly done during previous fiscal years, but completed during the one for which this...

On the fresh-water invertebrates of the North American Jurassic
Charles A. White
1886, Bulletin 29
Important additions having lately been made to our knowledge of the fresh-water invertebrates of the North American Jurassic strata, I have thought it desirable to present not only descriptions and figures of the new forms in this bulletin, but to make the publication an illustrated synopsis of all the forms...
Second contribution to the studies on the Cambrian faunas of North America
Charles D. Walcott
1886, Bulletin 30
Herewith I have the honor to transmit the Second of my preliminary studies on the Cambrian Faunas of North America. The larger portion of the report was ready for publication July 7, 1885, but, having visited a number of localities in Utah and Nevada during the season of 1885, numerous...

Tables of geographic positions, azimuths, and distances, together with lists of barometric altitudes, magnetic declinations, and itineraries of important routes
Montgomery Meigs Macomb, George Montague Wheeler
1885, Report
Tables of geographic positions, azimuths, and distances, together with lists of barometric altituudes, magnetic declinations, and itineraries of important routes, from data gathered by parties of the United States Geographical Surveys west of the 100th meridian, operating in the States and Territories of California, Colorado, Nebraska, Nevada, Oregon, Arizona, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, and Wyoming, 1883
Montgomery Meigs Macomb, George Montague Wheeler
1885, Report
Through the following tables there are presented, in accessible form, such portions of the more important numerical results of this Survey, from the year 1873 to 1879, inclusive, as it has been found neeessar, to compute pari passu with the plottings made from the field notes, together with such additional...
Sketch of paleobotany
Lester Frank Ward
1885, Report, Fifth Annual Report of the Director, 1883-'84
To understand the true force of the facts of paleobotany as arguments for geology it is essential that their full biologic significance be grasped. It has therefore been deemed proper, in this introduction to the several tabular and systematic statements which will make up the bulk of the volume and...
Notes on the stratigraphy of California
George Ferdinand Becker
1885, Bulletin 19
A complete examination of the Coast Ranges of California can hardly be undertaken by the Geological Survey for some years to come, consistently with the plans at present formed. The detailed study of certain small areas in these ranges, however, raised a number of questions as to the age and...
Observations on the junction between the Eastern sandstone and the Keweenaw series on Keweenaw Point, Lake Superior
Roland Duer Irving, Thomas C. Chamberlin
1885, Bulletin 23
Although the copper-bearing rocks of Lake Superior and the adjoining formations have attracted the attention of geologists for fifty years past, there are yet remaining unsolved very many problems with regard to them. We have ourselves, indeed, written at some length with regard to these rocks, and one of us...
