During the last year the Survey issued revised maps of Hagerstown
and of Carroll County; soil maps of Howard and Washington counties;
and practically completed the manuscripts for reports on the coals of
Maryland, the fire clays of Maryland, and the Silurian deposits of the
State. Reports on the soil surveys of Charles and Frederick counties
and part of Garrett County were also completed as well as special re-
ports on numerous minor matters.

The work of the Survey is essentially that of a bureau of informa-
tion. Each year it distributes about a thousand volumes and pamphlets,
about two thousand maps, and makes about a thousand manuscript re-
ports on special matters dealing with the physical features and mineral
deposits of the State. To supply up-to-date information it is necessary
to continue and revise earlier surveys of different areas and mineral)
products of the State.
