  southern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  township 
  about 
  two 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  miles 
  

   south 
  of 
  the 
  -village. 
  According 
  to 
  the 
  barometer 
  the 
  quarry 
  

   is 
  some 
  830 
  feet 
  higher 
  than 
  the 
  Schoharie 
  river 
  at 
  Middleburg. 
  

   At 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  it 
  are 
  six 
  feet 
  'of 
  blue 
  sandstone 
  covered 
  by 
  15 
  

   feet 
  of 
  shales 
  with 
  some 
  thin 
  layers 
  of 
  sandstone. 
  In 
  the 
  shales 
  

   are 
  plenty 
  of 
  Hamilton 
  fossils 
  ; 
  specially 
  in 
  the 
  thin 
  layers 
  and 
  in 
  

   some 
  that 
  have 
  a 
  rather 
  concretionary 
  structure. 
  The 
  rocks 
  of 
  

   this 
  quarry 
  are 
  in 
  the 
  Hamilton 
  formation 
  and 
  the 
  following

  were 
  collected:

  the 
  pustules 
  and 
  one 
  shows 
  fine 
  striae; 
  but 
  in

  and 
  general 
  appearance 
  they 
  are 
  like
