  On 
  the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  river 
  the 
  only 
  exposure 
  that 
  was 
  found 
  

   was 
  one 
  ledge 
  of 
  coarse 
  gray 
  sandstone, 
  17 
  feet 
  in 
  thickness, 
  near 
  

   the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  about 
  one 
  mile 
  east 
  of 
  Davenport 
  Center. 
  In 
  

   this 
  ledge 
  the 
  sandstone 
  is 
  thin 
  bedded, 
  somewhat 
  diagonally 
  

   stratified 
  and 
  presents 
  all 
  the 
  features 
  of 
  the 
  typical 
  Oneonta, 
  

   which 
  is 
  certainly 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  higher 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  ridge 
  of 
  hills. 
  

  

  On 
  the 
  south 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  river 
  the 
  results 
  were 
  a 
  little 
  more 
  

   satisfactory. 
  Near 
  West 
  Davenport, 
  in 
  a 
  small 
  depression 
  by 
  

   the 
  roadside, 
  were 
  found 
  some 
  large 
  angular 
  blocks 
  of 
  a 
  soft 
  gray 
  

   sandstone 
  containing 
  a 
  few 
  fragments 
  of 
  shells. 
  On 
  the 
  hillside, 
  

   about 
  half 
  way 
  between 
  West 
  Davenport 
  and 
  Davenport 
  Center, 
  

   is 
  a 
  long 
  low 
  ledge 
  of 
  coarse 
  gray 
  sandstone. 
  This 
  ledge, 
  which 
  

   is 
  15 
  feet 
  in 
  thickness 
  and 
  is 
  situated 
  about 
  70 
  or 
  80 
  feet 
  above 
  

   the 
  bed 
  of 
  the 
  river, 
  runs 
  along 
  the 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  for 
  a 
  consider- 
  

   able 
  distance. 
  No 
  fossils 
  whatever 
  were 
  found 
  in 
  this 
  rock, 
  

   which 
  fact, 
  together 
  with 
  its 
  lithologic 
  character, 
  a 
  very 
  coarse, 
  

   thin 
  bedded, 
  gray 
  sandstone, 
  leads 
  to 
  its 
  classification 
  under 
  the 
  

   Oneonta 
  formation. 
  From 
  the 
  position 
  of 
  this 
  ledge 
  so 
  near 
  the 
  

   bottom 
  of 
  the 
  hill, 
  it 
  would 
  seem 
  very 
  probable 
  that 
  it 
  marks 
  the 
  

   line 
  between 
  the 
  Oneonta 
  and 
  the 
  softer 
  rock 
  of 
  the 
  Ithaca, 
  which 
  

   has 
  all 
  been 
  worn 
  away 
  and 
  covered 
  by 
  drift. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  a 
  small 
  brook 
  which 
  flows 
  into 
  the 
  

   Charlotte 
  about 
  one 
  half 
  mile 
  below 
  Davenport 
  Center, 
  is 
  an 
  ex- 
  

   posure 
  of 
  about 
  30 
  feet 
  of 
  heavy 
  red 
  sandstone. 
  This 
  rock 
  

   forms 
  a 
  series 
  of 
  low 
  falls 
  in 
  the 
  brook 
  just 
  below 
  an 
  old 
  mill 
  

   dam. 
  This 
  exposure, 
  both 
  from 
  the 
  character 
  and 
  color 
  of 
  the 
  

   rock, 
  and 
  from 
  its 
  position 
  near 
  the 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  is 
  very 
  

   certainly 
  Oneonta.
