THE VIRGINIA GEOLOGICAL SURVEY.
The Virginia Geological Survey was established by an act of the
Legislature in March, 1908. Professor Watson was elected, by the State
Geological Commission, State Geologist and Director of the Survey, with
instructions to carry out the provisions of the act. Work is carried on
under his direction and is concerned with a study of the geology and
physical features of the State of Virginia. The varied geology of Virginia
and its diversified resources afford a most attractive field to the
investigator.
