DEPARTIMENT OF TIHE INTERIOR. UNITED STATES GEOLOGICAL SURVEY OF THE TERRITORIES F. V. HAYDEN, U. S. GEOLOGIST-IN-CHARGE. MISCELLANEOUS PUBLICATIONS.-No. 1. LI STS OF E LEVAT O NS PRINCIPALLY IN THAT PORTION OF THE UNITED STATES WEST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER. THIRD EDITION. COLLATED AND ARRANGED BY HENRY GANNETT 9 M. E. WASHINGTON: GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE. 1875. In this third edition of the "List of Elevations " I have been enabled -to increase largely the list of towns, cities, &c. Most of these elevations are from railroad levels, and give the elevation of the track. For many of the others I am indebted to the Dictionary of Elevations recently published by Dr. J. M. Toner. Many of them, especially of military posts, are derived from the records of the medical department of the U. S. Army, while the remainder are barometrical measurements, drawn from various sources. The list of mountain peaks has been largely increased, partly by ex-tending the scope of the list, making it include the Appalachian system. The orography of this system has been thoroughly studied by Professor A. Guyot, and the elevations of the peaks in this system rest on his.authority. In addition to these, the elevations of a few of the best-known rnountains in foreign countries are given. The list of passes, in high ranges, has been doubled in size. The additions have been made from various sources, which are specified in the list. For purposes of comparison I have added to the list of plateaux in the UTnited States a list of the best-known ones in foreign countries. The list of lakes I have extended in order to include those in all parts of the country. The table of elevations of the limit to the growth of timber is extremely incomplete. Its elevation in Colorado and in parts of Wyoming and Montana has been determined by a sufficient number of observations, under different conditions, to fix it quite accurately. But in other parts of the United States observations are very few, or entirely wanting. Elevations at the water-level of rivers have been but slightly increased in number. On the Mississippi River several have been corrected and a -few added. The number of railroad profiles has been largely increased. I am especially indebted, in the preparation of this edition, to Mr. -James T. Gardner, of this survey, for his valuable assistance in collecting and arranging material; also to Professor Hayden, Professor A. Guyot, Professor William H. Brewer, Professor Thomas, and to railroad officials'who have favored me with profiles of their roads. SECTION I. MISCELLANEOUS TABLES. T/lULl I. ELEVATIONS OF TOWNS, CITIES, ETC. Arkansas.

The following table exhibits six approximate profiles across the country from the 95th meridian west of Greenwich to the Pacific coast, along the 32d, 35th, 39th, 41st, 45th, and 48th parallels of latitude. The elevations given are the mean elevations, as nearly as they can be determined, of the country lying between the two meridians, one degree apart, and in.the neighborhood, that is, within about 15', of the parallel. These do not assume to be accurate profiles, hbut, as the material at hand seems to warrant me in making a beginning in this direction, I have prepared these, with the intention of correcting them as I obtain more material and a more intimate knowledge of the country.
