In Lunenburg, Vt., I visited a tract of land belonging to Col. White, where a blue and grey limestone is found in abundance, but is not sufficiently rich to make good lime, although it may serve a useful purpose in agriculture. It contains nearly 50 per cent. of carbonate of lime, but is liable to melt into slag in burning, on account of the formation of fusible silicates of lime, alumina and oxide of iron. By careful burning it will make a tolerably good hydraulic lime.
This limestone occurs on the east side of the hill, near a pond; is stratified and runs N. 30° E., S. 30° W., and dips N. W. It is N. 30° W. from Lunenburg meeting house, and on the west side of the pond. The top of the hill is composed of a greenish clay slate of the Cambrian system, and dips N. W. 50°.
