The geology of New HampshireA report comprising the results of explorations ordered by the legislature . CHlTilHDCM/ IksD W\i-°^\ /WAS HI AJD CaIKvibIIo O!** .^^^? «.&,.M. PHYSICAL HISTORY OF NEW HAMPSHIRE. 543 Subsequently to the cold term indicated by the boreal marine shells,there are two classes of facts serving to indicate since that time, andprobably within the human period, a long era when the climate overNew Hampshire was milder than it is now. The evidences derived fromour limits are the scanty remains of southern plants procured in a veryfew localities. They may be well represented by the Rhododendron max-imum, mentioned in the catalogue of plants as occurring in Richmond,Fitzwilliam, and Grantham. Since the printing of that chapter, I havegot traces of it in Hopkinton and Hooksett. The proper home of thisshrub is in the Middle states. Its occurrence in insulated swamps sug-gests a former abundance in intermediate localities, and the presumptionof a climate more like that of Pennsylvania, to enable it to flourishwithin our borders. The other class of facts is represented by the discovery of severalkinds of marine animals that properly flourish
