AMERICAN GEOLOGY—SURVEYS UNDER HAYDEK. 595 Work of Hayden Survey in Montana and the Yellowstone Park, 1871. Cretaceous and Tertiary formations of the West, the latter, popularly known as wi Cope's Primer," a pudgy volume of 1,009 pages and 13-4 full-page plates. With this year, too, began Jackson's work, which resulted in the production of what were at the time the finest land- scape photographs ever taken, and which excited the wonder and admi- ration of geologists the world over. In 1871, with an appropriation of |4l >,0I M >. held operations were t runs- ferred to Montana and portions of adjacent territories, including what is now the Yellowstone Park. To the party of the year previous was added A n - ton Schon- born, to- pographer; G. N. Allen, bot- anist, and Dr. A. C. Peale, mineralogist. The route lay fromOgden. Utah, along the shore of Salt Lake to Wil- lard City; thence through the Wasatch range to Cash Valley, and up the valley to the divide between the Salt Lake and Snake River basins. From this point they descended Marsh Creek to the Snake River basin and Fort Hall. Following the stag route to Virginia Junc- tion, they crossed Black Tail Deer ("reek near its source; thence down the Stinking Water to Virginia City: then, crossing the divide eastward to the Madison River, they descended the valley about 30 miles and crossed over the other divide to Fort Ellis, at the head of the Gallatin River. From Fort Ellis the}' passed again eastward over the divide between the Yellowstone and the Missouri to Bottler's ranch, where was established a permanent camp. A portion of the party then pro- ceeded up the Yellowstone and entered the park area, surveying the mammoth hot springs on Gardners River, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, the upper and lower geyser basins, and the lake.
