On the Santee strata of solid rock are found, interstratified with yellowish pulverulent marl. 
The latter is excavated with ease, but the former must be burned before it can be made available as 
amanure. ‘This hard rock, or marlstone, contains, on an average, 94 per cent. of carbonate of lime. 
The bed of green sand, mixed with carbonate of lime, which, as we have seen, is exposed at more 
localities thau one, maintains the character it has elsewhere as a manure, as Mr. Mazyck has 
demonstrated.
