The adaptability of this valley to farming purposes will be shown, at length, in the report upon the " Wild ; In order to better exhibit the limits of the two sections, I have made the following map, upon which are rep- resented the St. John and Ai'oostook Those who have at hand the Geological map prepared by Mr. Hitchcock will see that the more fertile belt corresponds remarkably to the defining lines of the great formation of calciferous slates and slates of Devonian age.
