geological survey during September, Di.
rector Powell says: Geographical work
in the West was greatly limited by the
smoke and haze which prevailed. In New
England 643 square miles of Typography
were completed. While engaged in geologic
work in the Atlantic division, Prof Shaler

bearing on the nature OF the recent changes
OF level of the New England coast. 1t is
thought that the rivers which flow from
south to north have great amount OF
marshes in their valleys, and hardly a
trace OF alluvial terraces, while the rivers
which run from north to south are not
bordered with swamps and oil have dis
tinct terraces. He offers az an explana.
ton the theory that the shore has all
been tilted up to the northwartl, thus
partly destroying the drainage of tho rivers
which flow tiorthwardly.
