Title: Progress of the Geologic Branch of the State Division of Mines: ABSTRACT

Author(s): Olaf P. Jenkins

Article Type: Meeting abstract

Abstract:

Two Bulletins, No. 115, "Bibliography, 1931-36," and No. 113, "Minerals of California," several important articles in the quarterly Journal, and a large colored geologic map of California--all of which should be of interest to petroleum geologists--have recently been published by the California State Division of Mines through the efforts of its Geologic Branch. In addition to assembling material for the preparation of various state mineral maps and the editing of several geologic contributions submitted for publication, the Geologic Branch has made steady progress in compiling data for the new Bulletin, "Geologic Formations and Economic Development of the California Oil and Gas Fields," as well as in editing articles prepared and contributed especially for the book by var ous generous authorities. A state map to accompany this Bulletin, a cross-indexed bibliography, and a glossary of names of drilled areas, are nearly complete and ready for inspection. The enterprise has met with wholehearted support. At least one-third of the papers promised have now been prepared.
