This is a foundational geological study published in 1920 by Liangfu Ye (also cited as L.F. Yih). Published as the first volume in the Memoirs of the Geological Survey of China (Series A, No. 1), the work represents a critical early effort by Chinese scientists to systematically map and describe the region's stratigraphy and mineral resources. Key Details of the Publication: Author: Liangfu Ye (L.F. Yih). Publisher: Geological Survey of China, Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce. Content: The 115-page memoir includes detailed descriptions of geological formations, 15 plates/maps, and 16 figures. It features a bilingual format with a summary and significant sections in Chinese. Scientific Contribution: Yih identified the Hungniiaoling Sandstone Series (Hongmiaoling) as a transitional sequence between the Palaeozoic and Mesozoic eras, a classification that remained influential until later fossil discoveries in 1927. Scope: The study focuses on the Western Hills (Xishan), a mountain range that covers roughly 17% of the Beijing municipality and is vital for its coal-bearing formations, such as the Mentougou. The second part of the 1920 memoir is the Chinese translation and supplement, which mirrors the English text but provides essential context for the local scientific and mining community of the time. While the first 115 pages are in English, the latter portion consists of approximately 100 pages written in Chinese (using traditional characters and Chinese numerals). This section was not just a summary, but a comprehensive formal record intended to establish standardized Chinese geological terminology. Key Components of the Chinese Section: Geological Terminology: It was one of the first major works to formalize Chinese names for strata and rock types. For example, it solidified terms for the Sinian formation (???), igneous rocks (???), and physiography (??). Stratigraphic Systems (????): This section details the local rock layers from the oldest Archaean foundations to the Quaternary loess, specifically focusing on the coal-bearing series of the Western Hills. Economic Geology (????): A significant portion is dedicated to the practical mining of the region, including descriptions of the Men-Tou-Kou (Mentougou) and Chai-Tang coal fields, which were vital to Beijing's economy. Administrative Preface: It includes an introduction by the Ministry of Agriculture and Commerce, positioning the work as a landmark in the modern scientific development of China. All the illustrations (15) and figures (16) are present. [This description may have been translated by AI.].…
