Abstract
A notebook kept by Edward Hitchcock during a portion of his geological survey of Massachusetts from May 1832 to January 1833. The notebook contains observations about the geology in various locations throughout the state with information about terrain and rock types. Hitchcock has included drawings complementing the notes about the geology throughout. Lists of miles traveled during the survey are included, as are lists of expenses incurred. While the diary entries only include up to January 1833, the mileage and expense lists include some earlier and later dates. The notes are not in strict chronological order.
