REPORT OF THE VERMONT STATE GEOLOGIST.<br />
Through the courtesy <strong>of</strong> Dr. C. H. Richardson, <strong>of</strong> Dart<br />
mouth College, I am able to publish, in addition to the special<br />
discussion <strong>of</strong> the Barre granites which Mr. Finlay's paper furnishes,<br />
a more extended account <strong>of</strong> the geology <strong>of</strong> Washington<br />
county, in which are located most <strong>of</strong> the important granite<br />
areas <strong>of</strong> the State, though others to the north <strong>and</strong> south are not<br />
to be overlooked, <strong>and</strong> particularly <strong>of</strong> Orange county, in which<br />
the Washington limestone is especially displayed, <strong>and</strong> also <strong>of</strong><br />
Windsor county.<br />
While Dr. Richardson does not primarily consider the granites,<br />
yet as these necessarily receive much attention, the paper<br />
naturally should be included in a discussion <strong>of</strong> <strong>Vermont</strong> granites.<br />
By these contributions we are furnished with a much more<br />
accurate <strong>and</strong> complete account <strong>of</strong> the region involved than has<br />
ever been published.<br />
It may be proper to state that the papers are published as<br />
they came from their authors, <strong>and</strong>, therefore, they alone are<br />
responsible for such statements <strong>and</strong> conclusions as they contain
