Excerpt from Annual Report of the State Geologist for the Year 1904Library - T he library is maintained for the benefit of the workers on the Survey, and is composed chie¿y of volumes on geology, mineralogy and allied branches. It is supplemented by reports and pamphlets received in exchange for the Survey publications, as well as by purchases. During the past year the accessions were 49 bound volumes, 130 unbound volumes, 118 pamphlets and 93 maps.Laboratory - For many years the Survey has been hampered by lack of suitable accommodations for its work. The office on the third ¿oor of the State House is no larger than is necessary for the administrative work. The space in the basement allotted to the Survey, is sufficient only for the storage of its duplicate collections, its maps and reports and for shipping facilities. There has been no place regularly available for the examination and study of materials, or for laboratory work of any description. In fact it has at times been difficult to obtain desk room for mem bers of the Survey engaged in preparing reports. In part this difficulty has been met by the employment of scientific assistants, who were connected with various colleges and who had, there fore, laboratory and office facilities in which the work could be done. In spite of the relief thus obtained, the work has been seriously hampered at times by the congestion in the office.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
