  By 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  highway 
  on 
  the 
  southern 
  side 
  of 
  

   Bennett's 
  creek, 
  one 
  mile 
  west 
  of 
  Masonville 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  outcrop 
  of 
  

   grayish 
  thin 
  bedded 
  sandstone. 
  On 
  splitting, 
  the 
  surface 
  of 
  the 
  

   layers 
  is 
  somewhat 
  rough. 
  Fossils 
  are 
  not 
  uncommon 
  in 
  this 
  

   sandstone 
  and 
  the 
  species 
  listed 
  below 
  were 
  collected:

  . 
  On 
  the 
  south 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  road 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  Mason- 
  

   ville 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  quarry. 
  The 
  rock 
  consists 
  of 
  olive 
  to 
  greenish 
  

   argillaceous 
  shales 
  and 
  flaggy 
  sandstones 
  varying 
  from 
  light 
  gray 
  

   to 
  greenish 
  which 
  are 
  quarried 
  to 
  some 
  extent 
  for 
  local 
  use. 
  It 
  is 
  

   not, 
  however, 
  a 
  quarry 
  of 
  any 
  special 
  importance. 
  Fossils 
  are 
  

   rare 
  and 
  some 
  little 
  search 
  yielded 
  but 
  one 
  species 
  — 
  Orhiculoidea 
  

   cf. 
  neglecta 
  (Hall) 
  Schuchert. 
  The 
  rocks 
  along 
  Bennett's 
  creek 
  

   across 
  Masonville 
  township 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  Chemung 
  formation. 
  

  

  Sidney 
  

  

  Sidney 
  is 
  the 
  northwestern 
  township 
  of 
  Delaware 
  county, 
  being 
  

   situated 
  north 
  of 
  Masonville 
  and 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  Susquehanna 
  river. 
  

   It 
  is 
  bounded 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  by 
  Unadilla 
  and 
  Otego 
  townships, 
  

   Otsego 
  county, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  by 
  Franklin 
  township, 
  Delaware 
  

   county. 
  The 
  central 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  township 
  is 
  crossed 
  by 
  Carrs 
  

   creek, 
  which 
  flows 
  from 
  the 
  southeast 
  toward 
  the 
  northwest 
  

   and 
  enters 
  the 
  Susquehanna 
  river 
  opposite 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  Una- 
  

   dilla. 
  On 
  'the 
  southern 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  creek 
  are 
  quite 
  steep 
  hills 
  

   forming 
  the 
  divide 
  between 
  it 
  and 
  Bennett's 
  creek. 
  The 
  creek 
  

   valley 
  and 
  this 
  range 
  of 
  hills 
  afford 
  occasional 
  sections, 
  though 
  

   the 
  rocks 
  are 
  largely 
  covered 
  by 
  soil 
  and 
  drift.
