Excerpt from Report on the Warrior Coal Basin: With Fifty Figures in d104 Seven Plates and a Map Dear Sir: - I have the honor to submit herewith the Report on the Warrior Coal Basin of Alabama by Henry McCalley as a part of my biennial report to the Legislature of 1898-99. Other parts of this report are, Iron Making in Alabama, Second Edition, by Dr. William B. Phillips, already published; Bulletin No. 6, On the Clays of Alabama, by Dr. H. Hies, in manuscript and to be sent to press as soon as the present document is finished; Plant Life of Alabama, by Dr. Charles Mohr, now going through the press as a Bulletin of the National Department of Agriculture, by an arrangement which will be fully set forth in the preface to that work. The present report has been substantially in manuscript since the spring of 1899, but could not be completed in all details till the map and illustrations were en graved, and this work was delayed by a strike.
