 these Ili^li l*(»int sandstone's (station 1) to Ih' synchronons with 

 the Poi*ta«;e sandstones at l*ortaj;eville (station 14). 



Stati<»n 2. Wolf j^nlly :U miles a little west of south from Hifjh 

 Point. An esearpment at the top of the west bank is :^0 to 40 

 rmls lt»n«; and shows o5 feet of rock mo^^tly heavy sandstones. 

 No fossils liave been found here. 



Station '^. ^ mile east of station 2, on the east side of Frink 

 hill. An eseai'imient in which is a thin calcareous layer, com- 

 posed principally of crinoid stmis and bryozoans. rontaius 

 many brachiopods. 



Station 4. Ledges on the west side of Knapp hill, 4i miles 

 southeast from Hijfh Point. A calcareous concretionary layer is 

 crowded with 1). t u b e r o s u m and Chemung brachiojKjds.

 in several small escarpments on north slope of Pine hill. 



Station C. McClarries's quari-}' on the hillside east of the vil- 

 lage of North Cohocton. About 30 feet of light blue gray com- 

 pact sandstones in heavy layers are exposexl. A thin seam of 

 shale in one of the hard layers contains a few small brachiopods. 

 No other fossils appear. This quarry is evidently in the Portage 

 sandstones but its stratigraphic i>€6«ition in them is not certainly 

 known. It is .") miles directly south of High Point and 30 mik^s 

 east and 1 mile north of the cliff at l*ortageville. The altitude 

 is 1575' to IGOO' A. T., indicating an elevation of 300 feet to 400 

 feet or a westerly dip of 10 feet to 13 feet a mile, and a southward 

 dip of 25-30 feet a mile. 



Station 7. A small exposure near the foot of the hill on thi» 

 north side of the road leading from North Cohocton to Way land, 

 a little east of Dotys Corners. It is about 4 miles west from 

 station <» and ther«* is not much dilTerence of altitude. A cal- 

 careous layer, siniilai- to tin* one at High Point, but thinner, is 

 composed of Chmeung bra«hiojM)ds. 



Station 8. Quarry 2 miles west of Wayland on the north side 

 of the road to Dansville. Altitude about 1400' A. T. No fossi s
