  Sub-Olean 
  Conglomerate 
  (Waverly). 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  Buchanan 
  hill 
  (section 
  B), 
  one 
  mile 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  

   State 
  line, 
  is 
  seen 
  a 
  flat-pebble 
  conglomerate, 
  which 
  probably 
  

   represents 
  this 
  rock, 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  at 
  about 
  the 
  right 
  elevation. 
  The 
  only 
  

   other 
  exposure 
  seen 
  was 
  near 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  a 
  north 
  branch 
  of 
  

   Quaker 
  run 
  (section 
  H), 
  four 
  miles 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  line 
  and 
  

   ten 
  miles 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  above 
  locality. 
  A 
  line 
  drawn 
  between 
  

   these 
  two 
  exposures 
  runs 
  fifty 
  or 
  sixty 
  feet 
  beneath 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  

   the 
  Olean 
  conglomerate, 
  about 
  its 
  normal 
  position. 
  

  

  Olean 
  Conglomerate. 
  

  

  This 
  rock 
  was 
  found 
  at 
  three 
  points 
  only 
  ; 
  at 
  the 
  headwaters 
  

   of 
  Mchol's 
  run 
  (section 
  D), 
  about 
  four 
  miles 
  east 
  of 
  Limestone 
  

   station 
  and 
  three 
  miles 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  line, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  head 
  

   of 
  Irish 
  brook 
  (section 
  F), 
  west 
  of 
  the 
  Tuna 
  creek 
  and 
  northwest 
  

   of 
  Limestone 
  station. 
  At 
  the 
  Mchol's 
  run 
  exposure 
  (section 
  D) 
  

   it 
  is 
  fifty- 
  six 
  feet 
  thick, 
  massive, 
  crowded 
  with 
  large 
  and 
  small 
  

   oval 
  pebbles 
  and 
  capped 
  by 
  a 
  coarse 
  gray 
  sandstone. 
  There 
  are 
  

   several 
  exposures 
  here 
  around 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  stream. 
  This 
  

   exposure 
  is 
  about 
  one-half 
  a 
  mile 
  north 
  and 
  five 
  miles 
  west 
  of 
  

   the 
  Olean 
  rock 
  city. 
  At 
  the 
  Irish 
  run 
  exposure 
  (section 
  F) 
  it 
  is 
  

   equally 
  massive, 
  and 
  as 
  it 
  caps 
  the 
  hill 
  it 
  forms 
  a 
  rock 
  city 
  of 
  

   small 
  extent. 
  It 
  stands 
  out 
  in 
  huge 
  blocks 
  thirty 
  or 
  forty 
  feet 
  

   thick, 
  the 
  tops 
  of 
  which 
  are 
  inaccessible, 
  but 
  I 
  judge 
  that 
  no 
  

   sandstone 
  remains 
  upon 
  it. 
  I 
  did 
  not 
  see 
  the 
  sub-Olean 
  

   conglomerate 
  below 
  it. 
  

  

  Red 
  Rocks. 
  

  

  There 
  are 
  three 
  distinct 
  strata 
  of 
  red 
  rocks 
  shown 
  upon 
  the 
  

   diagrams, 
  which 
  seem 
  to 
  occupy 
  the 
  same 
  horizon 
  for 
  several 
  

   miles 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  State 
  line, 
  and 
  which 
  are 
  also 
  represented 
  in 
  

   the 
  Bradford 
  oil 
  well, 
  the 
  upper 
  one 
  being 
  directly 
  over 
  the 
  Pope 
  

   Hollow 
  rock. 
  This 
  layer 
  extends 
  eight 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  miles 
  north 
  

   of 
  the 
  State 
  line, 
  where 
  it 
  is 
  seen 
  at 
  the 
  Big 
  Trestle, 
  two 
  and 
  

   three 
  quarter 
  miles 
  southeast 
  of 
  Salamanca 
  (section 
  P) 
  ; 
  it 
  is 
  here 
  

   at 
  least 
  fifteen 
  feet 
  thick. 
  In 
  the 
  oil 
  well 
  at 
  Bradford 
  it 
  is 
  

   eighteen 
  feet 
  thick. 
  It 
  was 
  also 
  found 
  on 
  Mchol's 
  run, 
  four 
  miles 
  

   east 
  of 
  Limestone 
  station 
  (section 
  D-l). 
  Also 
  on 
  Irish 
  brook,
