SECOND REPORT ON THE GEOL-
OGY OF MAINE.
This report like the preceding; is divi-
ded into three parts,rclating to Topograph-
ical, Economical and Agricultural Geol-
ogy. The first part completes the coast
survey, which formed the basis Of DR..
Jackson's operations, and contains des-
criptions ofthe grand divisions Of primary
rocks and soils which constitute the foni-
dation strata, of the State. lhe result of
this years operations, is more accurate
survey of the known localities, where
minerals have been worked the discovery
of new beds of lime-stonei ard marbles,
bog-ores, serpentne or Ncrd Antique, a
general view of the nature Of tie soiis in
several large sections of obntrg, and some
highly important facts in Geological Sci
ence.
ltappears from this survey, that Maine
abounds in granite duarri s, fefdcient to
supply the market OF The ti4llHeA world.
Much Of the granite is ola superior aualitv,
and may be wrought with great P Oft. For
architectural uses, we thlnk that granite is
destined in this countryside hold the rank
which marble occupied ii ancient Greece
and Rome 1t is more dhrabIe in its tex
ture, and wihstands our variable and stormy
climate with less change and decay. In the
sunny climes of Greece and Italy, marble
NAV be- emnloved WITH rre,t e[ract' for
ornamental nnnoses.-bnt in our own
country. Granite scemsto be better adapted
