These collections that have been submitted have furnished information that should be of interest to many geologists and are well worth keeping in the Survey Collections. Their value would be greater if the locations of the various collections were shown on index maps. These would be filed with the reports and be available for future use by anyone. Such maps would be appreciated, especially for areas in which localities are difficult to describe.

[Note: these collections were referred by C.E. Kirschner through George Gates]
