In addition to the main belt of crystalline limestone mentioned, 

 there are a number of smaller areaSj which are quarried at Bige- 

 low, Brasie Corners, Crarj Mills, East Pitcairn, Hickory, and 

 Rossie. 



That from Hossie which is quarried by C. Williams & Co. is 

 used by the Dexter sulfite pulp and paper co., which made the 

 following analysis of the lime.

The limestones are mostly Calciferous, though some Trenton 

 occurs. Owing to their irregular distribution and faulted rela- 

 tions, the occurrences can be best determined from the accom- 

 panying map. Most of the quarries are located in the Calcif erous, 

 but there are also some excellent exposures of Trenton, fully 

 equal to those along the Hudson river at Glens Balls. 



The composition of some of the Calciferous beds may be judged 

 from the analysis given below. At Sandyhill, both the Cal- 

 ciferous and Trenton limestone occur. The Calciferous is quar-
