Guidotti^ Introduction The Boundary Mountain anticlinorium (Albee, 1961) in northern New Hampshire, west-central Maine, and adjacent Quebec consists of a core of pre-Silurian rocks overlain to the northwest and southeast, respectively, by Silurian and Devonian rocks in the Connecticut Valley- Gaspd synclinorium (Cady, 1960) and the Merrimack synclinorium (Osberg, Moench, and Warner, 1968). This trip will examine the highlights of the stratigraphy, structure, and metamorphism of the rocks in the anti clinorium, beginning in the Silurian rocks on its southeast flank near Rangeley, Maine, and proceeding westward across its core to a synclinal inlier of Silurian rocks near Parmachenee Lake (fig.
