<1 HHTRIPTION PRIOR (1 A YEAR ^ „„„ 0( Q^u. ^
work ha* been prepared under a co
opers tlra agreement between the
Georgia Geological Surrey and th*
United States Geological Surrey.
Under tb* Plan of co-operation two
reports were to b* published on to*
Coastal Plain—on* dealing primar
ily with th* stratigraphy, th*
ond to be a thorough study of un
derground waters. These report*
hat* Intoltad an Immense amount
of labor, about three years of field
and office work and hating been
spent upon them.
The work of collecting Informa
tion and writing th* reports nas
been done by Otto Veateb, As
sistant State Geologist of Georgia,
and L. W. Stephenson, of th* United
States Geological Surrey, under th*
general superrlslon of T, Wayland
Vaughan, of the U. 8. Geological
Surrey.
The Coastal Plain la that pert of
Georgia lying south of Augusts,
Mllledgetllle, Macon, and Columbus,
and Is on* of th* three major geolog
ical dltlalona of tb* stats—th* sec
ond being foe Piedmont and moun
tain section, and the third being th*
limestone and shale region *m.
bracing ths ten northwest coun
ties of the State. Oomparatltely
little ha* heretofore been knows
concerning the nature and arrange
ment of the rocks which underlie
South Georgia, and one of th* ob
jects of tala work was to maks a
classification of the rock formation:
to ghre a description, o fthelr lith
ologic character, whether composed
limestone, marl, sand, clay, or
other rock; and to make a map
showing their geographic dtatrlbn
tlon.
While the preaent report la tn the
main largoly scientific. It contains
much of general Interest and soould
be of great educational Talus. It
has been found absolutely essential
to conduct such preliminary aclen-
title work In order to make Intelli
gent studies of natural mineral re
sources. It Is believed that this re
port will be of great value In th*
future study of the claya, fuller*
earth, bauxite, maria and limestone,
the soils, and the artesian waters
of this region. As one example, by
means of the geological Informa
tion which we have gained, we ar*
now able to atate with some cer
tainty not only the kind ot-rdc?
which will be encountered In drill'
Ing In south Georgia, and th*
depths at which It will be struck,
but also whether artesian flows will
be obtained and In a general way
the quality of foe water to be ex
pected. The report on the under
ground water* will be shortly pub
lished by th* U. 8. Geological Sur-
T. ' ' ’ •' * .'I

with the phyalograph, and la th*

count of th* surface features of this
i«glon which baa been published.
will perhaps be of Interest to
dtlsena of South Georgia to know
why one portion of their section of
the State Is broken and hilly, an
other portions lovel and Indented
with llmeslnks. and still another
flat, featurelesa, and 111 drained or
swampy; or why some streams flow
southward, while others flow south-
westward. In other word*, the
geological history or origin of the
surface features la dlacuased. A
description of Okefenokee Swamp,
one of the grenteat natural wonders
the Atlanta coast, I* given. A
rather complete map of the swamp
ha* .11*00 compiled, and a theory of
the origin of the swamp la advanced.
A list of all available elevation above
aea level Is also given and should
prove valuable as no such list haa
heretofore been published.
The second and larger part of th*
book Is a description of th* rock for
mations. The rocks have been class
ified Into three greet systems, eight,
series, 17 different formations, and
even still further minor subdivis
ions ar* made. Eeach formation la
described separately aa to Its min
eral character: Its tcsalle, remains
of animal and plant life, which are
the principal hast* of classification
of the formations; Its structure,
that la whether the beds ar* horl-
aontal or tilted; while the distribu
tion of the formations Is shown In

when Mr. Bailey objected to tbe

Bailey held that such Incorporation
waa a “falso pretense," and object-
to the encouragement of Insti

lic school-house." The idea that the
schoolhouse would be a better look
ing crown for the hill If the man
who designed It had been to see
what sort of buildings were used
to crown hills In Europe did not
occur to Mr. Bailey. At least he did
net admit that It occurred to him.
