states and five territories. G. w. Hayes
will have general supervision of field and
office work of the division of geology and
paleontology and stratigraphy will be
specially supervised by I. w. Stanton,
those in petrology by Whitman Cross,
those of metalliferous ore deposits by S.
f. Emmons, those in photographic and
glacial geology by q. X. Gilbert, those
of pre- Cambrian and metamorphic rocks
by G. r. Van Hise. The field and office
work of the eastern topographic branch
will be supervised by II. NJ. Wilson, the
work of the western topographic branch
by f. NJ. Douglas. Topographic map
ping will be under field and Office in

vison of the field and office work of the

will be in charge of S. S. Gannett. +.
II Newell will have general supervision
over the work of the photographic

The work of measuring streams will be
