  A 
  long 
  series 
  of 
  water 
  falls, 
  two 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  shown 
  in 
  

   the 
  photographs 
  (Fig. 
  7 
  and 
  8), 
  occurs 
  on 
  the 
  stream, 
  all 
  of 
  

   which 
  are 
  over 
  cliffs 
  worn 
  in 
  tlie 
  gorge 
  of 
  this 
  shale 
  which 
  

   evidently 
  forms 
  the 
  greater 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  on 
  that 
  side. 
  

   The 
  thickness 
  of 
  the 
  shales 
  therefore, 
  according 
  to 
  the 
  contours 
  indi- 
  

   cated 
  on 
  the 
  map, 
  must 
  be 
  fully 
  160 
  feet. 
  Occasional 
  drift 
  covered 
  

   patches 
  render 
  close 
  raensurement 
  impossible. 
  Strata 
  equivalent 
  to 
  

   at 
  least 
  30 
  feet 
  in 
  thickness 
  are 
  covered 
  by 
  drift 
  at 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  

   shales. 
  Following 
  the 
  shales 
  at 
  the 
  upper

  fall

  These 
  conglomerates 
  are 
  much 
  contorted 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  layers, 
  while 
  

   the 
  other 
  layers 
  are 
  not, 
  and 
  the 
  shales 
  above 
  and 
  below 
  them 
  are 
  

   not. 
  They 
  are 
  possibly 
  of 
  Oneida 
  age. 
  The 
  disturbance 
  appears 
  

   to 
  have 
  been 
  at 
  the 
  time 
  of 
  their 
  deposition. 
  Again, 
  above 
  this, 
  

   drift 
  obscures 
  a 
  considerable 
  thickness.

  tliat 
  the 
  Oneida 
  is 
  the 
  northern 
  extension 
  of 
  the 
  Medina, 
  from 
  the 
  fact 
  

   of 
  finding 
  Arihrophycus 
  harlani 
  in 
  the 
  Oneida 
  at 
  Utica.

  Johnson's 
  quarry 
  referred 
  to 
  by 
  Brighain 
  ('89 
  p. 
  105.) 
  which 
  he 
  says 
  

   occasionally 
  shows 
  layers 
  of 
  soft, 
  dark 
  shale, 
  between 
  the 
  conglomerate 
  beds.
