  thickness 
  in

  including 
  the

  at

  Station 
  S. 
  One 
  and 
  one-half 
  miles 
  south 
  of 
  McDonough, 
  on 
  

   east 
  side 
  of 
  Genegantslet 
  creek, 
  in 
  a 
  quarry 
  on 
  the 
  property 
  of 
  

   Ed. 
  Burdick, 
  are 
  exposed 
  : 
  

  

  (1) 
  Heavy 
  bedded, 
  light 
  grey, 
  coarse-grained 
  sandstone 
  with 
  

   considerable 
  iron 
  cement, 
  breaking 
  out 
  into 
  good 
  flags 
  ; 
  twelve 
  

   feet. 
  No 
  shale 
  or 
  fossils. 
  This 
  quarry 
  lies 
  at 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  a 
  hill 
  

   on 
  the 
  upper 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  road, 
  and 
  from 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  quarry 
  to 
  

   the 
  summit 
  of 
  the 
  hill, 
  a 
  vertical 
  distance 
  of 
  150 
  feet, 
  there 
  are 
  

   exposures 
  of 
  a 
  light 
  gray 
  sandy 
  shale 
  with 
  interlaminated 
  beds 
  

   of 
  coarse 
  quartz-pebble 
  conglomerate, 
  and 
  capped 
  at 
  the 
  summit 
  

   of 
  the 
  hill 
  by 
  a 
  heavy 
  bench 
  of 
  sandstone. 
  

  

  These 
  layers 
  above 
  the 
  quarry 
  afforded 
  a 
  few 
  specimens 
  of 
  

   Spirifer 
  mesastrialis 
  which 
  was 
  quite 
  common 
  in 
  the 
  conglom- 
  

   erate, 
  and 
  a 
  small 
  Liopteria 
  like 
  L. 
  Torreyi. 
  

  

  These 
  are 
  the 
  highest 
  strata 
  met 
  with, 
  as 
  they 
  undoubtedly 
  

   overlie 
  all 
  sections 
  observed 
  at 
  the 
  south 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Smith- 
  

   ville

  and 
  Greene.
