Excerpt from Proceedings and Collections of the Wyoming Historical and Geological Society: For the Year 1901 The seventh annual volume of this Society - "Proceedings and Collections for 1901" - is here presented to the members. The valuable geological paper on Kansas Glaciation and its Effects on the River System of Northern Pennsylvania, by Prof. Edward H.Williams, Jr., F.G.S.A., will, we are sure, attract attention and repay a careful study. To the generosity of the author we are indebted for the admirable illustrations of the article. The Publishing Committee has, in this volume, realized a long cherished purpose in the publication of several original manuscripts from the mass of such data in the possession of the Society. Among these the "Orderly Book of Colonel Zebulon Butler, August-December, 1778," and his "Correspondence," covering the same eventful period, now made public for the first time, will prove of great value to the historian. The future annual volumes of the Society will contain other unpublished manuscript records of a local character. The vital statistics will be examined with pleasure by the genealogist. It is intended to keep up these three features, the Geological, Historical and the Statistical, in subsequent volumes. The editor assumes responsibility for all errors.
