Other Elevated Areas. There are several important hilly areas in the 

 Merrimack basin, immediately adjoining the range just described. The 

 first is a hilly area in New Hampton and Sanbornton, consisting of 

 Burleigh, Hersey, and Sanbornton mountains on the east side of the 

 Pemigewasset. Next are the Ragged mountains of Andover and Hill. 

 Separated from these by the Blackwater river are the Kearsarge moun- 

 tains in Warner, Wilmot, and Salisbury, the most important of all the 

 groups. Kearsarge resembles Monadnock in form, general features, and 

 geological structure. Smaller areas worthy of notice are the dying out 

 of the Ragged mountain range, with a southerly instead of easterly trend, 

 in Franklin and Boscawen ; the Sutton hills, perhaps a continuation of 

 Kearsarge ; an unnamed area in Bradford and Hillsborough, Mink hills in 

 Warner, Craney hill in Henniker, with eminences in North Weare ; the 

 Dunbarton heights, the Uncanoonucs of Goffstown, Joe English hill in
