ADDITIONAL READING The geologic bibliography on the Black Canyon area is not very extensive. Many concepts, moreover, have changed greatly since the older reports were published. But much descriptive matter is still valid, even in the oldest reports, and some of the old ones have great historic interest. The more important references are listed as follows, together with corollary readings on allied subjects, briefly annotated. Atwood, W. W. Sr., and Atwood, W.
