LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL.


Department of the Interior
United States Geological Survey,

Washington, D. C, January, 1905.

Sir: I transmit herewith a bulletin on the origin of place names in the United States. This is a second edition of Bulletin No. 197. The material has been compiled from various sources, printed and manuscript, as set forth in the introduction. I think this work will be of great interest as embodying much local and general history.

Very respectfully,

Henry Gannett,
Geographer.


Hon. Charles D. Walcott, Director United States Geological Survey.
