The sets of United States state and federal surveys are almost

Glasgow, Harvard, Stanford, Texas, Toronto, Uppsala, and several
other universities; and among the periodicals and society publications
are American Geologist, Economic Geology, the Field Museum
Geological Series, Geological Magazine, the Geological Society of
America Bulletin and Proceedings, Geological Society of London
Quarterly Journal, Journal of Geology, the publications of the
Lemberg Universytet Instytut Geofizyki i Meteorologji, and the
Pan-American Geologist.

At the State Library there are 2,600 volumes on geology,
atlases and maps for all states covered by the United States Geological
Survey, surveys of twenty-five states, chiefly east of
the Mississippi River, and full sets of nearly all of the federal
publications, such as annual reports, bulletins, monographs, and
professional papers.

The library at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute contains
1,858 volumes and a considerable number of uncatalogued publications,
periodicals, and maps. There is a somewhat similar reference
and teaching collection, of approximately 1,000 volumes, at

Washington and Lee University.
