The diagrams | Figs. 77, 78, 79) represent the area, si/.e, and structure of this anticline, 

 and Figs. 32, '■'>'■'>, 34 show the cleavage phenomena in it. 



The schists at the foot of the hill toward the village form part of those of East 

 mountain (Beach hill). The easterly cleavage would easily mislead one here into a

quarries lie, forms an anticline, and the schists referred to overlie, its base with a 

 westerly dip. It is uncertain whether the section given by Emmons (Geology of sec- 

 ond district, p. L55), through the New Ashford marble quarry, relates to this quarry 

 or to one of several others in the vicinity.
