Besides these, there have been a few papers read by the state geologist 

 before scientific associations, and subsequently published, relating to New 

 Hampshire geology, unfolding more fully than is possible in the annual 

 reports our ideas of the stratigraphical structure of the state. In fact, 

 the act specially forbids the presentation of observations at great length, 

 and therefore we have felt constrained to make the reports very brief. Our 

 investigations have led to the adoption of new views respecting the geolog 

 ical features of New Hampshire, which seem of considerable importance. 

 They will be unfolded in detail in the volumes now in course of prepara 

 tion ; and we must be content at the outset to give a short sketch of the 

 operations of the survey, as set forth, in the annual reports of progress,
