KING, CLARENCE (18421901)

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 803 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KING, CLARENCE (18421901) , American geologist, was born at Newport, Rhode
Island
 , U.S.A., on the 6th of January 1842. He graduated at Yale in 1862. His most important
work
  was the
geological
  exploration of the fortieth parallel, of which the main reports (1876 and 1877) comprised the
geological
  and topographical
atlas
  of the Rocky Mountains, the Green River and Utah basins, and the Nevada
plateau
  and basin. When the United States Geological Survey was consolidated in 1879 King was chosen director, and he vigorously conducted investigations in Colorado, and in the Eureka
district
  and on the Comstock lode in Nevada. He held office for a year only; in later years his only noteworthy contribution to geology was an essay on the age of the earth, which appeared in the annual report of the Smithsonian Institution for 1893. He died at Phoenix,
Arizona
 , on the 24th of December 1901.
