  The 
  remaining 
  parts 
  of 
  the

  are 
  not 
  well 
  exposed 
  ; 
  

   the 
  sides 
  of 
  the 
  creek 
  are 
  low, 
  the 
  ground 
  becomes 
  level 
  and 
  

   loose 
  material 
  is 
  abundant. 
  Finally,

  The 
  Niagara 
  appears 
  after 
  the 
  latter, 
  on 
  the 
  same 
  road. 
  It 
  is 
  

  

  a 
  dark, 
  concretionary 
  mass, 
  1 
  to 
  5 
  feet 
  thick. 
  The 
  con- 
  

   cretions 
  form 
  segments 
  of 
  large 
  flattened 
  spheres, 
  and 
  may 
  

   be 
  split 
  into 
  tables 
  a 
  yard 
  square 
  or 
  more. 
  They 
  contain 
  

   cavities 
  tilled 
  with 
  calcite. 
  The 
  concretions 
  are 
  inclosed 
  in 
  

   shale 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  dark 
  color. 
  Westward 
  the 
  rock 
  becomes 
  

   purer 
  and 
  loses 
  its 
  concretionary 
  character 
  in 
  part. 
  

  

  In

  with
