  township 
  of 
  Delaware 
  county 
  on 
  the 
  south 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  is 
  

   separated 
  by 
  the 
  Charlotte 
  river. 
  The 
  Schenevus 
  creek 
  crosses 
  

   the 
  northern 
  part 
  forming 
  a 
  narrow 
  valley 
  lined 
  by 
  steep 
  hills 
  

   and 
  in 
  the 
  southern 
  part 
  is 
  the 
  broader 
  valley 
  of 
  the 
  Charlotte 
  

   river 
  which 
  receives 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  tributaries 
  from 
  the 
  north. 
  

   Separating 
  the 
  two 
  valleys 
  is 
  a 
  steep 
  and 
  high 
  ridge 
  which 
  ex- 
  

   tends 
  southwesterly 
  across 
  the 
  southern 
  part 
  of 
  Maryland 
  and 
  

   the 
  northern 
  part 
  of 
  Davenport 
  and 
  into 
  the 
  eastern 
  part 
  of 
  

   Oneonta 
  and 
  southern 
  part 
  of 
  Milford 
  nearly 
  to 
  the 
  junction 
  of 
  

   the 
  Charlotte 
  and 
  Susquehanna 
  rivers. 
  The 
  upper 
  part 
  of 
  this 
  

   high 
  ridge 
  from 
  its 
  southwestern 
  end 
  northeasterly 
  into 
  the 
  

   western 
  part 
  of 
  Worcester 
  is 
  composed 
  of 
  the 
  massive 
  greenish 
  

   gray 
  sandstones 
  of 
  the 
  Oneonta 
  formation. 
  This 
  was 
  so 
  repre- 
  

   sented 
  on 
  the 
  geologic 
  map 
  published 
  in 
  part 
  1 
  of 
  this 
  report; 
  

   while 
  on 
  the 
  Geologic 
  map 
  of 
  New 
  York 
  the 
  Oneonta 
  formation 
  

   was 
  mapped 
  as 
  occurring 
  only 
  near 
  the 
  summit 
  of 
  the 
  ridge 
  

   which 
  it 
  followed 
  for 
  about 
  four 
  miles 
  along 
  the 
  Millford-Oneonta 
  

   and 
  Maryland-Davenport 
  township 
  lines 
  into 
  the 
  western 
  part 
  

   of 
  the 
  last 
  two 
  townships. 
  There 
  are 
  conspicuous 
  exposures 
  of 
  

   the 
  massive 
  Oneonta 
  sandstone 
  on 
  the 
  hill 
  south 
  of 
  Schenevus 
  

   in 
  the 
  southern 
  part 
  of 
  Maryland 
  which 
  were 
  briefly 
  described 
  

   in 
  the 
  former 
  report*. 
  On 
  the 
  hill 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  schoolhouse 
  

   are 
  heavy 
  ledges 
  of 
  the 
  greenish 
  gray 
  sandstone 
  which 
  form 
  

   typical 
  outcrops 
  of 
  the 
  Oneonta 
  sandstone 
  and 
  there 
  are 
  fre- 
  

   quent 
  outcrops 
  of 
  it 
  along 
  this 
  hill 
  to 
  the 
  east. 
  By 
  the 
  high- 
  

   way 
  a 
  little 
  over 
  two 
  miles 
  southeast 
  of 
  Schenevus, 
  red 
  sand- 
  

   stones 
  are 
  exposed 
  below 
  the 
  gray 
  sandstones. 
  This 
  locality 
  is 
  

   near 
  the 
  Maryland-Worcester 
  line 
  and 
  about 
  100 
  feet 
  higher 
  

   than 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  Oneonta 
  sandstone 
  at 
  XXIII 
  4 
  , 
  on 
  the 
  hill 
  

   south 
  of 
  Schenevus. 
  The 
  Oneonta 
  sandstone- 
  extends 
  along 
  the 
  

   ridge 
  for 
  rather 
  more 
  than 
  a 
  mile 
  into 
  Worcester 
  township, 
  being 
  

   last 
  seen 
  on 
  the 
  high 
  point 
  near 
  the 
  first 
  road 
  which 
  turns 
  to 
  the 
  

   south.
