Présentation de l'éditeur

State Geological Survey University of I llinois, Urbana, III., Nov. 5, 1907. To Governor C. S. Deneen, Chairman, and Members of the Geological Commission: I respectfully submit herewith manuscript for a second edition of Dr. Stuart Weller sgeological map of Illinois with the recommendation that it be printed as bulletin 6of the present series. In June, 1906, in transmitting the manuscript for the first edition I made the following statement: It is a well founded practice to begin new work with a careful digest of material already on hand and available. With this thought in mind Dr. Weller was instructed soon after his appointment as geologist of this survey, to compile in the form of a geological map such existing information regarding the formations of theS tate as might be available. It was believed that such a compilation would throw into sharp relief the areas in which accurate and inaccurate surveys already had been made, and would permit of economical direction of future work. The map herewith transmitted is the result. It will be seen that it is very greatly generalized, and the need of additional detailed work in many portions of theS tate is evident. The present map will, however, serve as an excellent base upon which to make corrections as the present survey progresses. Since it will be impossible to cover the entireS tate with detailed maps for some years, and since no geological map of theS tate is now available for general distribution, it is recommended that a small edition be printed for the use of the field parties of the survey, the schools of theS tate and the persons interested in its mineral resources. In using this map it should be remembered that it is merely a summary of the best information available at the time of publication. There are probably many gross errors, which it will be the purpose of the present survey to correct. The map
