Abstract
Plan for the Subject-Bibliography of North American Geology, by G. K. Gilbert, of the U.S. Geological Survey.—The United States Geological Survey is engaged on a Bibliography of North American Geology. The work when completed will give the title of each paper with the title-page of the containing book, and the number of plates, the whole being arranged alphabetically by authors. There is in contemplation also the simultaneous preparation of a number of more restricted bibliographies, each covering a division of geologic literature. The plan includes abbreviated titles of papers with reference to the pages on which the special subjects are treated, the entries in each bibliography being arranged alphabetically by authors. The selection of topics for treatment in this manner involves the classification of geologic science, and Mr. Gilbert submitted a tentative classification requesting the criticism of geologists.
