... The present publication fund is approximately one-half what we should have to carry forward the work of the Bureau in the best form. PRINCIPAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS SINCE 1911 The results of the Bureau investigations are best shown by the published reports for the past four years: Contributions to Geology, four volumes, each volume containing five to seven shorter papers and approximating a total of two hundred pages per volume; four county reports; four paleontologic publications; three regional stratigraphic publications; seven mineral resource publications by counties; and twenty detailed county geologic maps issued as white prints.
