  On 
  the- 
  hill 
  west 
  of 
  Multer 
  creek, 
  about 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  

   half 
  miles 
  below 
  Center 
  Valley 
  schoolhouse, 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  quarry 
  in 
  

   rather 
  coarse 
  grained, 
  thin 
  bedded, 
  bluish 
  sandstones 
  similar 
  to 
  

   those 
  on 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  south 
  of 
  Worcester 
  and 
  stratigraphically 
  

   apparently 
  in 
  the 
  Sherburne 
  formation. 
  This 
  formation 
  becomes 
  

   more 
  arenaceous 
  as 
  it 
  is 
  traced 
  eastward 
  and 
  forms 
  thin 
  flags. 
  

   Fossils 
  are 
  rare 
  although 
  the 
  few 
  found 
  indicate 
  the 
  lower 
  Ithaca 
  

   formation 
  to 
  which, 
  perhaps, 
  these 
  rocks 
  should 
  be 
  referred 
  

   rather 
  than 
  to 
  the 
  Sherburne. 
  The 
  list 
  is:

  With 
  the 
  exception 
  of 
  some 
  rather 
  steep 
  cliffs

   South 
  Worcester 
  the 
  hill 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  Charlotte 
  river 
  

   between 
  South 
  Worcester 
  and 
  the 
  Multer 
  valley 
  is 
  largely 
  

   covered 
  by 
  soil. 
  Kather 
  more 
  than 
  one 
  mile 
  east 
  of 
  South 
  Wor- 
  

   cester 
  near 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  450 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  river 
  road 
  are 
  

   loose, 
  unfossiliferous, 
  shaly 
  sandstones, 
  and 
  some 
  about 
  in 
  place 
  

   that 
  contain 
  Ithaca 
  fossils, 
  as 
  follows:

  On 
  the 
  lower 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  steep 
  hill 
  about 
  90 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  

   highway 
  nearer 
  South 
  Worcester 
  is 
  quite 
  a 
  prominent 
  ledge 
  of 
  

   bluish 
  shales. 
  There 
  are 
  a 
  few 
  fossils, 
  Tropidoleptus 
  caHnatm 
  

   (Con.) 
  Hall 
  being 
  the 
  most 
  abundant. 
  This 
  looks 
  like 
  the 
  transi- 
  

   tion 
  zone 
  from 
  the 
  Sherburne 
  to 
  the 
  Ithaca 
  formation.
