SURFACE WATERS OF VERMONT.
One of the latest publications Of the
United states Geological Survey Is en-
titled Surface Waters of Vermont" the
author being c. H. Pierce, graduate OF
the University of Vermont in the class
of 1904 The book contains 2ls pages and
is well illustrated. 1t is devoted chiefly
to the Lake Champlain drainage basin,
the St. Francis river basin and the Conn
ecticut river basin. It contains many
tables showing the records of gausing
stations on various Vermont streams.
One Of the most valuable portions Of the
book Is the list alphabetically arranged Of
Vermont streams, lakes and ponds with
two lines Of description for each. This list
includes $50 streams and 200 lakes and
ponds. This is probably the most COM
plete list of Vermont lakes and streams
yet published and will be very valuable
for reference purposes. While 1t Is true
that some Of the streams designated as
rivers are smaller than some Of the creeks !:
some Of the lakes are smaller than some
Of the ponds; and that many Of the small
er ponds are not listed, the tabulation,
nevertheless. is a very valuable one.
Some Of these streams. of course. are not
entirely within Vermont.

and lakes are given herewith. together
