Scientific Survey of Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands

"Scientific Survey of Porto Rico and the Virgin Islands / 2,1, the Geology of the Lares District, Porto Rico" is a comprehensive geological investigation into the northwestern region of Puerto Rico. Conducted by Bela Hubbard, this specialized volume offers a meticulous examination of the district's stratigraphy, structural geology, and physiographic features. It serves as a vital component of a broader scientific initiative to document the natural resources and physical characteristics of the Caribbean islands during the early twentieth century.

The work provides detailed descriptions of the Cretaceous and Tertiary formations, including analysis of the sedimentary sequences and fossil content that define the Lares District. Hubbard combines field observations with systematic mapping to illustrate the complex geological history of the area, making it a valuable reference for those studying Caribbean tectonic evolution and regional landforms. This account remains an important historical document for geologists, researchers, and students interested in the foundational earth science surveys of the West Indies. The text emphasizes empirical observation and stratigraphic correlation, providing an essential look at the environmental architecture of the island.
