VERMONT. 



FIRST SURVEY UNDER CHARLES B. ADAMS AND ZADOCK THOMPSON, 



1844-1856. 



The matter of a geological survey of Vermont was first brought to 

 the consideration of the general assembly during the administration 

 of Governor Jennison in 1836, and the following year (October ses- 

 sion, 1837) the subject was referred to the committee on education, 

 on whose behalf Governor Eaton submitted to the senate a report, 

 an extract of which forms Appendix 5 in the preliminarj^ report on 

 the natural history of the State of Vermont, prepared by Judge 

 Augustus Younsr in 1856.
