The room in Burlington, in which the materials of the Survey 

 are deposited, was hired by direction of the State Geologist at an

 not been embraced in the accounts paid by the Auditor. These 

 amounting to $42,62, 1 believe to embrace all the indebtedness of 

 the Survey. 



With the highest respect, I am

Z. THOMPSON.
