Hill, at Moore’s- Mine, ten miles southeast ot Lexington, and' rarelyvatr 
Silver Hill, and the Steele Mine, Montgomery county.. Small -quantities- 
of granular calcite were found in digging a well at Morrisville,* Wabe-

found associated with the compact varieties of limestone in the band, 
which passes- through North Carolina, from Stokes county, through Ca- 
tawba, Lincoln and Gaston counties, so,, for instance,, at the quarries of 
Martin’" on Snow creek, Bolejack,* near Germanton, P faff, in For-

lar is found at Turkey Cove,* and Cedar Cove,* in McDowell county-,
