Book excerpt: Excerpt from Maryland Geological Survey: Eocene Sir: - I have the honor to present herewith the first volume of a aeries of reports dealing with the systematic geology and paleontology of Maryland. A clear comprehension of our geological formations is based on a knowledge not only of the materials out of which the strata are composed, but also of the remains of animal and plant life which are entombed in the rocks themselves. A thorough knowledge of both these factors is essential as a basis for a complete interpretation of the mineral resources of the state, while the educational and scientific value of such information cannot be overestimated. It is the purpose of the Survey to publish a number of similar reports which will embrace the entire sequence of Maryland formations. Already much progress has been made in the investigations for the subsequent volumes of the series. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
