                           17. USEFUL TABLES
 
                            GEOLOGIC TERMS

            [With suggestions by the U.S. Geological Survey]
  For capitalization, compounding, and use of quotations in geologic 
terms, copy is to be followed. The list below exemplifies common usage 
of both rock and time terms. The term red beds has been used to 
designate certain rocks of mixed lithologic character that are 
predominantly red; as a unit modifier the use should beP red-bed.

  The terms lower, middle, and upper (referring to rocks) are 
capitalized only as indicated in the list (Upper Devonian, lower 
Tertiary, lower Paleozoic); similarly, the terms early, middle, and late 
(referring to time) are capitalized only as indicated.

  A formal geologic term is capitalized: Devonian System, Pliocene 
Series, San Rafael Group, Morrison Formation, Fayetteville Shale, 
Wedington Sandstone Member, Wisconsin Glaciation, Tazewell Stade. 
(Geologic terms quoted verbatim from published material should be left 
as the original author used them; however, it should be made clear that 
the usage is that of the original author.)

  A structural term such as arch, anticline, syncline, dome, uplift, or 
basin is not capitalized even if preceded by a name: Cincinnati arch, 
Cedar Creek anticline, Ozark uplift, Michigan basin. (A physiographic 
term that is preceded by a name is capitalized: Bighorn Basin, Half 
Dome.)

                           PHYSIOGRAPHIC TERMS

            [With suggestions by the U.S. Geological Survey]

  The following table lists physical divisions of the United States 
approved by the Association of American Geographers and should be used 
as a guide to capitalization. The general terms province and section, 
used in the common-noun sense, are not capitalized; the other terms are 
proper names and are therefore capitalized.

\1\ Both the French franc and the Spanish peseta are legal tender in Andorra.
\2\ Use the term ``euro area,'' not ``euro zone.'' It is incorrect to refer to the euro by nationality, for
  example, as an Austrian euro or a Belgian euro. However, one may refer to a country's holdings of euros, for
  example, euro (France) or euro (Germany). The subsidiary units, which used to be the national currencies of
  the euro area countries, will be used only during the transition period, that is, through June 30, 2002.
\3\ There is no subsidiary unit issued for the CFA franc. However, it is useful to retain the concept of the
  centime.
\4\ Use US$ instead of $ when it is not clear that the reference is to the U.S. dollar.
\5\ The currency is the renminbi, while the currency unit is the yuan.
\6\ Second subsidiary currency unit: jiao; 10 fen = 1 jiao; 10 jiao = 1 yuan.
\7\ Second subsidiary currency: millieme; 10 milliemes = 1 piastre.
\8\ The loti is interchangeable with the South African rand, which remains legal tender.
\9\ Second subsidiary currency: mil, 10 mils = 1 cent.
\10\ For accounting purposes, the ouguiya is also divided into the dixieme (= UM 0.10) and the centieme (= UM
  0.01).
\11\ Use the plural form lei before a figure (e.g., lei 100).
\12\ ``Sterling'' is at times used in place of ``pounds.'' When used as an adjective to describe the currency,
  ``sterling'' follows ``pounds'' (i.e., ``pounds sterling'').
\13\ Sudan has introduced the Sudanese dinar to circulate alongside the Sudanese pound. The Sudanese dinar is
  worth 10 pounds.
\14\ Second subsidiary currency: chiao; 10 fen = 1 chiao.
\15\ Both the Yemeni dinar and the Yemeni rial are legal tender in the Republic of Yemen.
