A propos de cet article

Jefferson City and Rolla, octavo (10 by 7.25 inches), variously paged, profusely illustrated with hundreds of plates and figures, and many folding, colored maps. ***CONTENT: The eleven reports described below were undertaken under the supervision of Arthur Winslow and Charles R. Keyes, State Geologists. Several volumes are devoted to the valuable rock and mineral resources of the State: coal, iron ores, clays, and, most notably, lead and zinc deposits, such as those of the celebrated Joplin district. Information is provided on mine locations, mining equipment and methods, transportation, etc. Fossiliferous strata of Cambrian to Carboniferous age underlie much of Missouri; two volumes in this set describe that stratigraphy and a plethora of invertebrate fossils: "protozoans", sponges, corals, trilobites, crinoids and other echinoderms, brachiopods, mollusks, and more. Volumes include: Vol. 1 (1891) - COAL DEPOSITS OF MISSOURI, with 226 p. and map; Vol. 2 (1892) - IRON ORES OF MISSOURI, with 366 p., 8 plates and map; Vol. 3 (1892) - MINERAL WATERS OF MISSOURI, with 256 p., 33 plates and map; Vols. 4 and 5 (1894) - PALEONTOLOGY OF MISSOURI, with 537 p. and 56 plates; Vols. 6 and 7 (1894) - LEAD AND ZINC DEPOSITS, with 763 p., 41 plates and map; Vol. 8 (1895) - ANNUAL REPORT FOR 1894 [CRYSTALLINE ROCKS, COAL MEASURES, OZARK MOUNTAINS], with 405 p., 30 plates and map; Vol. 9 (1896) - REPORTS ON AREAL GEOLOGY [HIGGINSVILLE, BEVIER, IRON MOUNTAIN AND MINE LA MOTTE MAP AREAS], with 132 p. and 14 plates; Vol. 10 (1896) - SURFACE FEATURES AND BIBLIOGRAPHY OF MISSOURI GEOLOGY, with 533 p. and 22 plates; and Vol. 11 (1896) - CLAY DEPOSITS, with 622 p., 39 plates and 2 maps. The later volumes include: STRUCTURAL AND ECONOMIC GEOLOGY OF MISSOURI (1900), with 259 p. and 63 plates; GEOLOGY OF MILLER COUNTY (1903), with 207 p., 18 plates and 2 maps; QUARRYING INDUSTRY OF MISSOURI (1904), with 371 p., 59 plates and 2 maps; GEOLOGY OF THE DISSEMINATED LEAD DEPOSITS, ST. FRANCOIS & WASHINGTON COUNTIES (1908) (2 vols.), with 259 p. and 121 plates; and GEOLOGY OF VERNON COUNTY (1926), with 152 p., 14 plates and 3 maps. Many "figures" in these reports are actually maps. ***CONDITION: These volumes are in VERY GOOD+ TO FINE condition, uniformly bound in the original decorated brown cloth, with a gilt design on the front covers and gilt lettering on the backstrips. The covers are well preserved, with only a trace of rubbing to the extremities. Joints and hinges solid, bindings firm. The text pages and illustrations are near pristine: fresh, clean and bright, with no foxing or damp stains. These volumes were deaccessioned from a New England library and have paper shelf labels on the lower spines, and small stamps on preliminary pages. This is a handsome set of highly informative, well-illustrated volumes. Domestic and international shipping will be extra, but only at my cost. …
