VERMONT. 
In general the springs of Vermont are much like those of Maine and 
New Hampshire, except that they usually contain a larger proportion 
of mineral matter. This may be due in part to the fact that the rocks 
through which the springs rise belong more frequently to the sedi- 
mentary series. Sulphureted springs are most abundant. Of the 
springs whose character is indicated on the list, nearly all are included 
in this class. Calcareous tufa is found in connection with many of the 
springs. 
Prof. Edward Hitchcock, in a letter to Prof. C. B. Adams, 1 in 1846, 
describes a thermal spring at Bennington. He does not give the tem- 
perature, but compares it with the spring at Williamstown, Mass., 
which is only slightly thermal. Clarendon, Alburgh, and Highgate 
springs appear to be the best known springs, although others are also 
largely used. The Clarendon springs are said to have been used 
medicinally in 1776, Alburgh has been a place of resort since 1816, 
and the use of Highgate dates back to 1840.
