Abstract
WHEN the full and complete geological survey of a State is undertaken by members of a University faculty, it behoves us to be thankful that the University is so alive to its responsibilities as to work in this way for the “increase and dissemination of knowledge among men.” Shortly after the Kansas University opened a graduate department in geology and palæontology, the geological survey of the State was undertaken, and the second volume of results is before us. The work is carried out by members of the University faculty, their advanced students, and other individuals. Like the quality of mercy it is twice blessed, for the State gains by the increase of knowledge of its geology, and the information obtained goes to strengthen the geological departments of the University.
