As there are very few occurrences ofordinary solid limestone in some of the more remote northernparts of the Province, it would seem that some of the marl de-posits in lakes and marshes are likely to become of economicimportance. It is easy to demonstrate that limestone plays a very im-portant part in the industrial economy of any nation.
