  The

  of 
  Y 
  3 
  in 
  actual 
  altitude 
  are 
  about 
  120 
  feet 
  above 
  

   those 
  of 
  W 
  2 
  one 
  mile 
  farther 
  down 
  the 
  Manorkill, 
  but 
  a 
  south- 
  

   westerly 
  dip 
  would 
  reduce 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  stratigraphic 
  difference. 
  

  

  The 
  stratigraphic 
  position 
  of 
  these 
  fossiliferous 
  zones 
  along 
  

   the 
  Manorkill 
  were 
  not 
  determined 
  to 
  the 
  satisfaction 
  of 
  the 
  

   writer 
  and 
  he 
  hopes 
  to 
  study 
  that 
  region 
  more 
  carefully 
  in 
  the 
  

   near 
  future.

  The 
  valley 
  of 
  the 
  Manorkill 
  not 
  far 
  above 
  Conesville 
  is 
  crossed 
  

   by 
  quite 
  a 
  conspicuous 
  moraine. 
  Possibly 
  a 
  mile 
  up 
  the 
  valley 
  

   on 
  its 
  northern 
  side 
  and 
  about 
  240 
  feet 
  higher 
  than

  is 
  

   a 
  20 
  foot 
  ledge 
  of 
  greenish 
  gray, 
  coarse 
  grained, 
  somewhat 
  cross- 
  

   bedded 
  sandstone 
  containing 
  some 
  white 
  quartz 
  pebbles. 
  By 
  

   the 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  highway 
  not 
  far 
  below 
  Manorkill 
  village 
  is 
  a 
  

   noticeable 
  outcrop 
  of 
  red 
  shale. 
  From 
  Manorkill 
  with 
  an 
  altitude 
  

   of 
  1520 
  feet 
  A.

  there 
  is 
  a
