litaif innik to the aortlieast the clip is gently away from the gneiss 

 2Jid the strike cuts across it at a small angle. This general relation 

 hoJds to tlie Chelsea road. 



The topography southeast of Fishkill Village is very flat. There 

 ane iew oiita'cps north of the Fishkill-Glenham road, between it 

 2tn4 the woods, ontil the farm of Albert Haight is reached and none 

 ito ithe south of it until Glenham is reached. Low ledges of lime- 

 stone appear north of Fishkill Village. Between the Chelsea and 

 Wappinger Falls roads and north of that road and the Cold Spring: 

 iteLtrnpike they are abundant. 



Just north of the village on the west side of the road, to the 

 south of the cemeter3^, the strike is n. 55° e. and the dip 35° s.e. 

 (ilettered B in section figure 23). Farther north on the roadside 

 near the gneiss the strike is n. 15° e. and the dip 49° n.w. (lettered- 

 A). At the railroad crossing on the Cold Spring road the strike is 

 n. 80° e. and the dip 46° n.w. (lettered C). Southeast of Fishkill! 

 creek and northeast of the Cold Spring road, from a point a short 

 distance from the road as far as Milton Hustis's farm, the strike 

 varies from 25" to 40° east of north and the dip is toward the 

 mountain and according to readings taken varies from about 50° to 

 62° s. e. (lettered D). Along the road from Fishkill Village to- 

 Brinckerhoff, about one-half mile from Main street in Fishkill 

 Village, the strike and dip are about the same as at the railroad 

 crossing. Along the northwestern margin of the limestone to the 

 northeast of the Wappinger Falls road the strike and dip are not eas- 

 ily followed. Along a section in a northwest-southeast direction from 

 the Glenham belt through Fishkill Village to the northwestern base 

 of the Hormess spur, as shown on the map and the accompanying

section (fif. 23), the limestone is in a series of northwest-south- 

 west folds which have suffered great erosion and, at places, much 

 disturbance. The latter is shown along the highway and in the rail- 

 road cuts southwest of Brinckerhoff, where the strike is only at a 

 small angle to the east of north and at one place n. 50° w. with east- 

 erly dip. Northeast of Brinckerhoff the strike and dip return to the 

 former general direction. In the railroad cut just north of the Johns-
