  These 
  blocks 
  seem 
  to 
  be 
  from 
  the 
  Hamilton, 
  but 
  the 
  rocks 
  in 
  

   place 
  are 
  apparently 
  in 
  the 
  Sherburne 
  or 
  Ithaca 
  formation. 
  At 
  

   the 
  top 
  of 
  this 
  hill 
  is 
  an 
  outcrop 
  of 
  red 
  sandstone 
  which 
  is 
  placed 
  

   in 
  the 
  Oneonta 
  formation. 
  This 
  sandstone 
  is 
  about 
  600 
  feet 
  above 
  

   Franklinton, 
  or 
  as 
  this 
  village, 
  according 
  to 
  Guyot 
  is 
  1260 
  feet 
  

   A. 
  T., 
  approximately 
  1860 
  feet 
  A. 
  T. 
  This 
  elevation 
  is 
  about 
  

   the 
  same 
  as 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  lowest 
  red 
  sandstone, 
  1875 
  feet 
  A. 
  T., 
  in 
  

   section 
  XXXVII 
  C 
  on 
  the 
  western 
  side 
  of 
  Moheganter 
  hill 
  perhaps 
  

   two 
  miles 
  farther 
  west.

  At 
  the 
  falls 
  above 
  the 
  highway 
  in 
  the 
  small 
  brook 
  a 
  

   short 
  distance 
  northwest 
  of 
  Franklinton 
  are 
  fossiliferous 
  bluish 
  

   shales 
  and 
  thick, 
  blue 
  sandstone 
  about 
  50 
  feet 
  above 
  the 
  Catskill 
  

   creek 
  at 
  Franklinton. 
  The 
  following 
  species 
  were 
  collected 
  at 
  

   this 
  locality:

  The 
  two 
  specimens 
  of 
  Sp. 
  mesastrialis 
  are 
  on 
  two 
  pieces 
  of 
  

   rock, 
  but 
  I 
  am 
  not 
  positive 
  that 
  they 
  came 
  from 
  this 
  

   locality. 
  They 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  introduced 
  accidentally. 
  

   If 
  they 
  occur 
  here, 
  however, 
  it 
  would 
  seem 
  to 
  indicate 
  

   that 
  I 
  am 
  in 
  error 
  in 
  referring 
  these 
  rocks 
  to 
  the 
  Hamil- 
  

   ton.
