B 5 Upper shaly limestone ; rather thin bedded, light 



gray limestone in which there are fossils. 

 B 6 Oriskany sandstone, very fossiliferous; upper 

 part very dark gray to blackish quartzose sand- 

 stone ; lower part lighter gray. Well exposed, in 

 contact with the subjacent shaly limestone, just 

 west of an old house, where it is from 1£ to 2 

 feet thick. 

 B 7 Esopus black shales, which weather to a grayish 

 color; mostly covered, but 8 feet showing in an 

 excavation south of the old house and about 35 

 feet above their base. 

 B 8 Onondaga limestone; massive, light gray lime- 

 stone forming low ledges to the level of the high- 

 way. 

 B 9 Marcellus and Hamilton formations from the 

 highway to the top of the hill; but the slope is 

 mostly covered. Fine pieces of Marcellus shale 

 occur on the lower part of this slope, and thin 

 Hamilton sandstones were seen toward the top 

 of the hill.
