Roberts' full name is Ralph J. Roberts; he has an interesting biography on wikipedia. There's a report titled Our Professional Paper 400-B , is from 1950, but the title is "Geological Survey research 1960, synopsis of geologic results". Roberts report is on page 17, but I'm having trouble locating it on the USGS site.
