of volcanoes, but the volcanic rocks ex-
amined and identified leave no room for
doubt on this point. Ages later, after
the region had passed through many
vicissitudes, related in this folio, it was
| overridden by the ice of the glacial
epoch; which has scratched and scored
| the rocks in many places and left addi-
| tional records in the form of glacial de.
| posits.
OF the mineral resources of the quad
rangle, which are described in detail,
granite is by far the most valuable. The
| State of Maine ranks third in the list of
| granite producing States of the Union,
and of its total production the quarries
of the Penobscot Bay quadrangle fur
nish nearly one-third. The Importance
of this industry to the community is
not, however, expressed by the mere
statement of annual production; it is
necessary to add that labor receives 50
per cent of the value of the stone quar-
ried. The most notable quarries are in
| the vicinity of Stonington and Vinal-
haven, and several of them doubtless
rank as the largest in the United
States. The topographic form of the
coast greatly facilitates quarrying
operations, and the cost of transporta-
|
fact that deep water channels suitable
for the largest coasting vessels extend
to the very edges of the quarries, SO
that immense blocks of granite can be
loaded directly upon the vessels that
take them to the great cities of the
| Atlantic coast.
| Clay used in the manufacture of COM
mon bricks is found at a number of
places, and shares with granite the
commercial advantage of proximity to
the coast. Its quality, abundance, and
| favorable situation would seem to justi-
| fly a more extensive development.
Nearly generation ago copper mines

The water supply of the Penobscot

The Penobscot Bay Geologic Folio.

The Penobscot Bay region, because of
its great scenic beauty, it's cool summer
climate, and its many bays and inlets,
which afford safe harbors and protected
sailing, has become one of the most pop
ular summer resorts in America. The
biologists of the United States Geolog
ical Survey, however, have visited it as
matter of duty, not pleasure, and a
result of their work has just appeared
as folio 149 of the Geologic Atlas of the
United States, called the Penobscot
Bay folio. The area mapped and de.
scribed in this folio comprises S57
square miles, about one half of which is
water. Two thirds of the land surface
of this quadrangle belongs to the main
land, the remaining third consisting of
many islands, of various sizes, ranging
from rocky points barely visible above
high water to areas many miles in
extent. Deer Isle, Vinalhaven, North
Haven, Isle au Haut and Islesboro are
the largest. The largest town in the
area is Belfast, but Castine, Deer Isle,
Dark Harbor and North Haven are fav-
orite places of resort and recreation.
The folio is the work of George Otis
Smith (now Director of the Survey, E.
5. Basin, and C. W. Brown. 1t is the
first Maine folio published by the Sur
vev, and the second New England folio,
and represents cooperative work be-
tween the Federal Survey and the
Maine State Survey Commission. The
triangulation control for the topograph-
ic base map was furnished by the United
States Coast and Geodetic Survey. The
folio consists of fourteen pages of text
describing the topography, geology, and
mineral resources of the quadrangle,
with detailed Photographic descriptions
of the rocks, and three maps showing
the topography and geology

these blessed isles may be surprised to
