  is 
  surrounded 
  by 
  all 
  the 
  following 
  beds 
  of 
  the 
  series 
  up 
  to 
  and 
  

   including 
  the 
  Chemung 
  sandstones 
  and 
  shales 
  [sec

   It 
  is 
  apparent 
  that 
  here 
  the 
  gradient 
  of 
  the 
  creek 
  is 
  locally 
  greater 
  

   than 
  the 
  southwestern 
  component 
  of 
  the 
  southern 
  dip 
  of 
  the 
  rocks. 
  

  

  The 
  last 
  two 
  instances 
  seem 
  to 
  indicate 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  necessary 
  

   that 
  the 
  dip 
  and 
  course 
  of 
  a 
  brook 
  coincide 
  for 
  the 
  formation 
  of 
  

   an 
  inlier, 
  as 
  long 
  as 
  the 
  gradient 
  of 
  the 
  brook 
  becomes 
  greater 
  

   than 
  the 
  component 
  of 
  the 
  dip 
  of 
  the 
  rocks 
  that 
  runs 
  in 
  the 
  

   direction 
  of 
  its 
  course. 
  

  

  It 
  would 
  not 
  seem 
  probable 
  that 
  inlier 
  resulting 
  from 
  different
