The history of the surface geology of Louisiana is given. The various geological formations of the state which contain clay that might be used to manufacture ceramic products are described. The properties of the clays that are of commercial value are considered. The cheap labor, cheap gas, good markets, and good transportation facilities of the state afford excellent possibilities for ceramic manufacturers.
