Excerpt from Extracts From Annual Reports of the U. S. Geological Survey, 1885-1897 The following report on the geology of Martha's Vineyard is one of three separate studies which I have devoted to the interesting field of southeastern Massachusetts; the second, that on Nantucket, it is hoped may be soon issued; and the third, on Cape Cod and the Elizabeth Islands, is now in preparation. The special aim of these reports is to furnish a basis for the geological history of this part of the shore line of North America.
