Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Areal and Economic Geology of Northeastern Vermont The present report upon the Areal and Economic Geology of Northeastern Vermont must be considered as a report of progress. When invited to study the North Country in 1904 it seemed possible to present in this Fifth Report of the State Geologist a detailed resume of all work done and required in the section assigned. Time forbids accurate mapping and the plotting of the structural relations. These can be accomplished only in a generalized way without continued research in the field. The report therefore might be fittingly styled A Reconnaissance in Northeastern Vermont. The area chosen comprises Caledonia, Essex and Orleans counties with fifty-two townships, forty-one of which have been traversed. It includes also a small portion of Washington County. Many photographs have been taken, a part of which appear as half tones in this article while the remainder are in the possession of the State Geologist. Two hundred and twenty-two carefully selected typical rock specimens of uniform size have been placed in the State Museum at Montpelier where both names and localities can be easily ascertained. Out of many of these, microscopical slides will be prepared for petrographical study, the results of which may be embodied in the next biennial report.
