Remarks. 



In Camden. 



The following results flow from this table : 1. The most com- 

 mon dip in the whole gneiss district is to the south-east. 2. A 

 short anticlinal axis occurs in the north-east part of Gushing, and 

 of course a synclinal of equal length on the west side of the anti- 

 clinal. 3. There is a very important synchnal between Megunti- 

 cook mountain and the Taconic schists in Appleton ; and the granite 

 of the mountain itself appears to be in the ridge of an anticlinal. 

 4. There are two anticlinals and two synclinals between Ingra- 

 ham's corner in Camden and Union common, as seen along the 

 road passing through E. Union. 5. The variations of the dip in 

 the west part of Camden among the high mountains, result from 

 displacement, rather than the usual plicating forces. 6. The other 

 exceptions to the usual dip are either local matters, or their rela- 

 tions have not yet been traced out.

Fig. 35 illustrates the relative position of the gneiss strata with the 

 adjacent rocks on a section from Camden harbor to the north part 

 of Appleton, exemplifying the third conclusion derived from the 

 Table of Dips. At the northwest end of the section are the 

 Taconic schists, a, with a high north-westerly dip of 65°, often 

 leaning slightly to the northwest. Passing into the valley, we find 

 near Smith's mills a very wide bed of Azoic limestone, h, supposed
