PKELIMINARY REPORT. 17 



In 1859 I received ....... $300,00 



In 1860 do. $266,67 



$566,67 



In the expenses above mentioned are included seventy five dollars paid Rev. S. R. HALL, 

 for services in the survey. 



In regard to the future, I am happy to say that we have no further charges to make. 

 Should the Government publish our Report, it will indeed require a good deal of labor on 

 our part. But we shall lay no claim to remuneration. Our explorations during the past 

 season have brought to light several facts of much scientific interest, which we have 

 incorporated in our Report. Mr. HAGER, also, at his own expense, has secured a number 

 of photographic sketches of the scenery of the State, which he is willing to attach to the 

 Report, with descriptions, if the Government are willing to order them lithographed. 

 They would undoubtedly add much to the interest of the Report. 



Respectfully submitted, 



EDWARD HITCHCOCK. 

 AMHERST, MASS., Oct. 22, 1860.
