is 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.

Gcorgc H. Perkins, Burlington, 1900, j?. 83, Figures 29. 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 REPORT OF THE VERMONT STATE GEOLOGIST. time in variotiS scientific periodicals proceedings of societies, 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.

Although some of the titles in the above billiographY are duplicated in that given by Dr. Richardson at the close of his article on Orange county, yet, as each list has a special object, it has been thought best to let them stand as originally and independently prepared. In connection with the above bibliography it is, I think, quite fitting that there be given a reprint of the account of the work of - "Jr. Wing, since so much of interestand value appear in his work which was exceedingly fundamental in Vermont American Geologist, geology. The account is taken from the Vol. XX VIII, pp. i-8, 1901, and was written by Professor Seely.
