Synopsis

Excerpt from First Biennial Report on the Geology of Alabama At the appointment of a Professor of Geology in the University, it was made the duty of that officer "to spend such portions of his time, not exceeding four months in each year, in exploring the State in connection with his proper department, as the Trustees may consider for the advantage of the State." These explorations commenced in 1847, and have been continued up to the present time; and such extracts, from the reports made to tho Trustees, as were thought to be of general interest, have appeared in the newspapers of Tuskaloosa. In January, 1848, the following resolutions were passed by the General Assembly of the State: "Whereas, Michael Tuomcy, Professor of Mineralogy, Geology, and Agricultural Chemistry, in the University of Alabama, is required by an ordinance of the Board of Trustees of the University, to devote a portion of his time and labor, in making geological explorations, and examining into the natural resources of the State: And whereas, it would be both interesting and useful to the General Assembly, and to the people, to examine the reports which he may make from time to lime: Therefore, "Be it Resolved by the Senate and House of Representatives of Alabama, in General Assembly convened. That Michael Tuomey, Professor of Geology, &c. in the University of Alabama, be, and he is hereby appointed State Geologist.
