the persistence and significance of mineralogical character as an indicator to classification. In speaking of this a scholar has said: It is not too much to say that the method was established by the New York survey, and that it finds its best in the classic fourth district; here it was that American stratigraphic geology was founded. Furthermore, Dr. Hall originated the rational theory of mountains, which is held to be one of the most valuable contributions made to isostasy. His publications include beside those mentioned: Graptolites of the Quebec group; the paleontological portions of Fremont's exploring expedition, appendix a; Expedition to the Great Salt Lake; United States and Mexican boundary survey; United States Geological exploration of the Fortieth parallel (vol. IV., 1877); Geological survey of Iowa, and chapters on geology, paleontology and physical geography in the Report on the Geological survey of the State of Wisconsin. He died in Echo Hill, N. H., Aug. 7, 1898.
