REPORT OF THE VERMONT STATE GEOLOGIST.
Part Viii, pp. 718-732, contains S. R. Hall's report on the
geology of Northern Vermont, which is interesting and useful
and a very brief report by Mr. Hager on the geology of Plymout
FL
Part IX, pp. 733-870, on the " Economical Geology" of the
State is perhaps, at least at present, one of the most valuable
sections of the work. It takes up the various building stones
ores and minerals, with notes on their locality, occurrence, etc.
Part X, pp. 871-941, is devoted to an account of the scenery
of the State. A very valuable appendix by Mr. E. Billings
describes some thirty species, many of them new, of Ordovician
and Canibrian fossils found in the State.
In 1861 Mr. Hager, who as has been noticed was for some
years assistant under Dr. Hitchcock, was appointed State Geol--
ogist. I cannot find that Mr. Hager published any reports.
In 1870 he resigned the office and Dr. H. A. Cutting was appointed
his successor. I do not find that Dr. Cutting published
any geological report, but he issued several reports upon
the condition of the State Cabinet, and several which were
zoological rather than geological. These reports, usually of
only a few pages, were published in the reports of the State
Ioard of Agriculture for 1872,1874, 1876, 1878.
In i$86 Dr. Cutting was followed by Rev. George W. Perry.
i\ [r. Pen -v published two reports, mainly statistical, in the
volume of State Officers Reports for 1893-94.
In 1898 Mr. Perry resigned the office on account of illness,
and the writer was appointed to take his place.
The present Geologist has published two reports.

It is believed that the above list includes all the official writings
on \ ei-mont geologv, but there are other papers, some of
them of the highest value, which have appeared from time to

etc. I am not sure that the following list includes all of these,
but it certainly does most of them, in the order of publication.
