63 outcrop limestone samples, 24 limestone samples which were buried, 3 stalactites and 3 stalagmites from the Great Limestone Servies, Gangweon Do, Chungcheong Buk Do, Korea were analysed and the following items were examined
(1) The correlation between the contents of calcium and those of water-soluble sodium, water-soluble chlorine, insoluble sodium, insoluble chlorine is moderately negative.
(2) The correlation vetween the contents of magnesium and those of water-soluble aodium, water soluble chlorin. insoluble sodium, insoluble chlorine is moderately positive.
(3) The correlation between the Mg/Ca ratio and the contents of water-soluble sodium, water-soluble chlorine, insoluble sodium, insoluble chlorine is moderately positive.
(4) The contents of water-soluble sodiu, water0soluble shlorine, insoluble sodium, insoluble chlorine increase when the calcium contents of limestone are about 22.5%
(5) The contents of inoluble sodium are higher than those of water-soluble sodium; the contents of insoluble chlorine are higher than those of water-coluble chlorine
(6) The contents of water-soluble chlorine are higher than those of water-soluble sodium; the contents of insoluble chlorine are higher than those of insoluble sodium.
(7) The average Mg/Ca ratio is 0.249.
(8) The contents of soluble sodium, soluble chlorine, insoluble sodium, insoluble chlorine and Mg/Ca ratio of outcrop samples are higher than those of underground samples.
