  a 
  small 
  syncline 
  of 
  the 
  Cambric, 
  as 
  it 
  would 
  seem, 
  but 
  pro- 
  

   trudes 
  from 
  below 
  the 
  Cambric* 
  or 
  is 
  a 
  " 
  Fenster," 
  as 
  the 
  Euro- 
  

   pean 
  geologists 
  term 
  it 
  (an 
  outlier 
  of 
  younger 
  rock 
  protrud- 
  

   ing 
  through 
  older 
  rock 
  in 
  consequence 
  of 
  extensive 
  over- 
  

   thrust 
  and 
  partial 
  weathering 
  away 
  of 
  the 
  overthrusted 
  mass). 
  

   We 
  have 
  attempted 
  in 
  iMuseum 
  buhetin 
  42 
  [1901. 
  p. 
  556] 
  

   to 
  indicate 
  this 
  condition 
  for 
  the 
  Albany 
  region. 
  If 
  we 
  assume 
  

   this 
  overthrust 
  to 
  have 
  still 
  more 
  approached 
  the 
  horizontal 
  

   and 
  the 
  transportation 
  along 
  the 
  thrust 
  plane 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  quite 
  

   extensive, 
  we 
  get 
  conditions 
  which 
  seem 
  to 
  explain 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  

   greater 
  phenomena 
  of 
  the 
  slate 
  belt. 
  We 
  insert 
  here 
  a 
  section, 
  

   given 
  by 
  Dale, 
  from 
  the 
  neighborhood 
  of 
  Schodack 
  Landing,
