N. A. Pratt, with whom we had been intimately associated during the war, brought us a small fragment of rock and enquired if we knew it. We replied yes ; as well as we know Digitized by Google And the " Great Carolina Marl Bed!' 65 our children; we have been familiar with it since 1839, have a large collection of specimens at the Col- lege of Charleston, and would be glad to submit them to him for examination. To this the Doctor readily- assented, and we repaired immediately to the Col- lege. O...n examination, (there were fifty or sixty speci- mens in the closet,) he said: "I think you are mis- taken, thes^ are not the same kind of rock as that in in my hand." We rejoined, there is no doubt on our mind about it, but feel confident they are the same, and suggested that a quantity should be ground up finely, so as to obtain a fair sample for analysis. Dr. Pratt took, accordingly, several pounds, enquiring at the same time as to its chemical composition; we replied: Professor Tuomey made a crude analysis of it some years ago, his notes of the result were burnt with our librai*y ; but we well remember that the amount of Phosphate of Lime, 16 per cent, was considered too small, and the Carbonate of Lime, Iron and Sand, too great to admit of its being used advantageously for Agricultural purposes.
