Excerpt from Report of Progress in 1870 In compliance with the requirements of the first of the above quoted sections, at the last session of the Legislature I submitted a brief report Of the progress Of the Survey during the first seven months of its existence. In addition to such report of progress I submitted a sketch of the geologi cal structure Of the State, now, for the first time, accurately and fully determined, a preliminary geological map, the exclusive work of the pres ent geological corps, an enumeration of the materials already collected for the final report and a sketch of the plan of operations for the future. With this report of progress were submitted reports on the geology of the southern portion of the State by Professors Andrews and Orton. Of this report twenty-five hundred copies were ordered by the Senate and during the summer were printed and have been distributed.
