GEOLOGY OF CINCINNATI AND VICINITY

by

NEVIN M. FENNEMAN

GOVERNOR FRANK B. WILLIS:

My Dear Sir: - I transmit herewith the manuscript for a Bulletin on the Geology of Cincinnati and vicinity by Professor Nevin M. Fenneman of the University of Cincinnati. This Bulletin was prepared for use in public schools and is therefore comparatively free from technical terms, but scientific accuracy has not been sacrificed for simplicity of statement. In my judgment the Bulletin is an admirable presentation of the subject and I forecast for it extensive use by the people for whom it was prepared. ...

Respectfully submitted
