1752-Guettard (Jean Étienne). Carte minéralogique où l'on voit la nature des terrains du Canada et de la Louisiane.

Accompanying "Mémoire dans lequel on compare la Canada à la Suisse par rapport à ses mineraux." Histoire de l'Académie Royale des sciences, 40, p. 189, Plate VII. Paris, 1752.

A map extending from Florida to the 60th parallel of latitude north.

This very curious first "Geological Map of a part of North America," shows the geographical distribution of three large belts of rocks, which Guettard called "Bandes sabloneuse, marneuse, et schisteuse ou métallifère." The marly or clay belt is marked by a shaded zone, extending from the shores of Texas, on the Gulf of Mexico, toward the northeast as far Cape Breton Island, called Isle Royale; then it turns northwest toward Quebec. West of this band lay the schistose or metalliferous belt, and east of it the sandy belt under the sea-level.

Thirty-nine different signs and annotations indicate places where rocks and minerals exist between the Atlantic and the Rocky Mountains. On a smaller map, placed at the right-hand lower corner, on a larger scale, comprising the shores of the St. Lawrence River, Guettard points out eight localities containing fossils, which he figures on Plates 3 and 4. One is evidently an Orthis, and another a Leptæna, related to Leptæna sericea, both found on the shores or near Lake Champlain. Besides, Guettard gives figures of Crinoidea and a tooth of the Mastodon giganteum, found on the banks of the Ohio River, in 1739, by Longueil, an officer of the French army, who collected there (Big bone Lick) bones, teeth, and tusks which still exist carefully kept among the collections of Comparative Anatomy at the "Jardin des Plantes," in Paris. The map was constructed by Philippe Buache for M. Guettard.

Accompanying "Observations on the Geology of the United States, explanatory of a Geological Map." Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc., Vol. VI, p. 411. Philadelphia, 1809.

Accompanying "Observations on the Geology of the United States of America." Trans. Amer. Phil. Soc., New Series, Vol. I. 4°. Philadelphia, 1817. This geological map and the explanatory memoir are better known than the first map of 1809 or the French edition of 1811, and are generally considered as the starting point for the geology of North America. Also issued separately in 8°.

1822-Cleaveland (Parker). (Geological Map) The United States.

Accompanying "An elementary treatise on Mineralogy and Geology, designed as a companion for travelers in the United States of America." Second edition in two volumes, p. 784, Vol. II, Plate VI. Boston, 1822.

This old geological map of the United States is merely a copy of the third edition of 1817, of Maclure's Geological Map, with very few additions or variations.

29.

1822-Long (S. H.) and James (Edwin). Map of the country drained by the Mississippi, western section.

Accompanying "Account of an expedition from Pittsburgh to the Rocky Mountains, performed in the years 1819 and 1820, under the command of Major S. H. Long," compiled by Edwin James, geologist to the expedition, 2 vol, and 4° atlas. Philadelphia, 1823.

In black, with dotted lines and geologic inscriptions indicating limits of the formations as understood then by Edwin James.

Although very rough, this first sketch of the geology of the country west of the Mississippi River, by Dr. Edwin James, is very creditable, and entitles him to be called the first pioneer of the geology of the country between the Mississippi River and the eastern foot of the Rocky Mountains. The volumes appeared in 1823 the atlas in 1822.

1842-Owen (D. D.). Geological chart of the Ohio Valley.

Accompanying "On the geology of the Western States of North America." As a postponed paper in Journ. Geol. Soc., London, Vol. II, p. 433. London, 1846.

This map was published in order to establish satisfactorily his just claims of original discoverer of many important points in the geology of the Western States, two maps having appeared in 1843, by B. Lawrence and J. Hall, covering almost the same ground, without reference to the survey of David Dale Owen, from which they were compiled almost entirely.

31.

1843-Lawrence (Byrem). A geological map of the Western States. [No place of publication]. 1843. Lithographed in Boston.

This very rare map is merely a copy of David Dale Owens' geological map of the Ohio Valley.
