  On 
  the 
  hill 
  south 
  *of 
  Schenevus 
  creek 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  miles 
  

   about 
  east 
  of 
  Worcester 
  and 
  700 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  creek 
  level 
  is 
  a 
  

   thin, 
  rather 
  coarse 
  grained 
  sandstone 
  quarry 
  (26B 
  1 
  ). 
  A 
  single 
  

   specimen 
  of 
  an 
  imperfectly 
  preserved 
  Lamellibranch 
  shell 
  was 
  

   found 
  belonging 
  either 
  to 
  the 
  genus 
  Actmopteria 
  or 
  Liopteria, 
  

   Still 
  higher 
  in 
  the 
  field 
  are 
  more 
  argillaceous, 
  non-fossiliferous 
  

   shales 
  and 
  more 
  argillaceous 
  sandstones 
  which 
  together 
  with 
  the 
  

   sandstones 
  of 
  the 
  quarry 
  belong 
  in 
  the 
  Sherburne 
  formation. 
  

   The 
  line 
  of 
  division 
  between 
  the 
  Hamilton 
  and 
  Sherburne 
  forma- 
  

   tions 
  may 
  be 
  followed 
  along 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  steep 
  hill 
  south 
  of 
  

   Schenevus 
  creek 
  nearly 
  to 
  the 
  schoolhouse 
  at 
  the 
  four 
  corners 
  

   in 
  district 
  no. 
  15, 
  toward 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  Multer 
  creek 
  a 
  , 
  nearly 
  two 
  

   miles 
  southwest 
  of 
  East 
  Worcester. 
  Then 
  the 
  line 
  turns 
  nearly 
  

   to 
  the 
  south 
  and 
  follows 
  the 
  hill 
  on 
  the 
  western 
  side 
  of 
  Multer 
  

   creek 
  through 
  Center 
  valley, 
  crossing 
  it 
  near 
  the 
  center 
  of 
  school 
  

   district 
  no. 
  13. 
  The 
  line 
  next 
  runs 
  to 
  the 
  north 
  and 
  then 
  south 
  

   across 
  the 
  ridge 
  east 
  of 
  Multer 
  creek, 
  makes 
  a 
  loop 
  on 
  the 
  hill 
  to 
  

  

  a 
  No 
  name 
  was 
  found 
  on 
  the 
  maps 
  for 
  the 
  largest 
  tributuary 
  of 
  the 
  Charlotte 
  river 
  from 
  the 
  

   north 
  between 
  Sovith 
  Worcester 
  and 
  Charlotteville 
  and 
  the 
  name 
  Multer 
  creek 
  is 
  proposed 
  for 
  it 
  on 
  

   account 
  of 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  several 
  families 
  of 
  that 
  name 
  in 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  its 
  valley.
