DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Contributions to a History of American State Geological and Natural History Surveys, 1920 The necessity for immediate action in the collection of such data is manifest, since much valuable information - particularly details of administration and cost - has never been published, but exists only in the memory of men, in pri vate records, and in public records liable to become destroyed or forgotten with the decadence of the present generation. It is accordingly proposed by the United States Geological Survey to collect material for a History of American State Surveys, with a view of publishing it, if possible, during the present year.
