Historical Geology/Bibliography

This is a partial bibliography. I have not attempted to keep records of the innumerable sources I have read during the preparation of this textbook which told me either nothing I didn't know, or (much more frequently) nothing that I thought belonged in an introductory work.

It is almost certain that I have omitted some sources on which I have in fact relied; I can only apologize to the undeservedly anonymous authors of those valuable books and papers.

References are given according to the standard established by the publication manual of the A.P.A.
