Abstract
IN a second report on magnetic work in Maryland (Maryland Geological Survey, special publication, vol. v. part i. pp. 23-98, the Johns Hopkins Press, Baltimore, 1902), Dr. Bauer gives the results of the survey which he commenced in 1896. In the earlier years the work was done mainly under the direct auspices of the Maryland Geological Survey, but subsequent to May, 1899, when Dr. Bauer took charge of the magnetic department of the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, the Geodetic Survey contributed materially to it. The result, in Dr. Bauer's, words, is that “Maryland now possesses the most detailed magnetic survey of any country, with the exception of Holland,” there having been on the average one station to each 100 square miles.
