  The 
  locality 
  in 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Canajoharie 
  mentioned 
  by 
  Hall 
  has 
  not 
  

   been 
  certainly 
  identified. 
  The 
  highest 
  formation 
  occurring 
  within 
  

   the 
  present 
  limits 
  of 
  the 
  township 
  is 
  the 
  Hudson 
  river. 
  The 
  section 
  

   may 
  be 
  the 
  one 
  on 
  Canajoharie 
  creek, 
  in 
  Otsego 
  county, 
  or 
  more 
  

   likely 
  the 
  section 
  north 
  of 
  Cherry 
  Valley, 
  near 
  Salt 
  Springville, 
  

   which 
  is 
  approximately 
  at 
  the 
  eastern 
  termination 
  of 
  the 
  Clinton 
  

   formation. 
  The 
  section 
  is 
  as 
  follows:

  The 
  total 
  thickness 
  is 
  estimated 
  at 
  less 
  than 
  50 
  feet. 
  The 
  pres- 
  

   ence 
  of 
  the 
  Clinton 
  beds 
  can 
  not 
  be 
  ascertained 
  from 
  the 
  exposures 
  

   at 
  Cherry 
  Valley, 
  and 
  they 
  may 
  have 
  thinned 
  out 
  entirely. 
  At 
  

   Sharon 
  Springs, 
  7 
  miles 
  farther 
  east, 
  the 
  Salina 
  rests 
  directly 
  upon 
  

   the 
  Hudson 
  River 
  shales, 
  the 
  whole 
  of 
  the 
  Niagaran 
  and 
  Oswegan 
  

   groups 
  having 
  disappeared.
