  affording 
  an 
  exposure 
  of 
  about 
  four 
  

   feet. 
  At 
  the 
  base 
  is 
  a 
  six-inch 
  schistose 
  sandstone 
  followed 
  

   above 
  by 
  alternating 
  layers 
  of 
  sandy 
  and 
  clay 
  shales, 
  the 
  former 
  

   passing 
  into 
  thin 
  masses 
  of 
  coarse 
  quartz 
  conglomerate, 
  the 
  latter 
  

   being 
  soft, 
  greenish 
  or 
  blackish.
