  A. 
  T., 
  320 
  feet 
  below 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  are 
  two 
  ledges 
  of 
  heavy, 
  

   bluish 
  sandstone 
  between 
  which 
  are 
  red 
  shales 
  (D 
  2 
  ). 
  This 
  horizon 
  

   is 
  approximately 
  650 
  feet 
  above 
  Huntersland 
  which 
  according 
  to 
  

   the 
  barometric 
  reading 
  has 
  about 
  the 
  same 
  altitude 
  as 
  Franklin- 
  

   ton. 
  These 
  were 
  the 
  lowest 
  red 
  rocks 
  seen 
  on 
  the 
  road 
  and 
  they 
  

   were 
  taken 
  for 
  the 
  base 
  of 
  the 
  Oneonta 
  formation. 
  It 
  is 
  interest- 
  

   ing 
  to 
  note 
  the" 
  close 
  agreement 
  in 
  altitude 
  of 
  the 
  lowest 
  red 
  

   rocks 
  observed 
  on 
  the 
  western 
  side 
  of 
  Moheganter 
  hill 
  and 
  at 
  

   other 
  points 
  eastward 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  hill 
  south 
  of 
  Huntersland; 
  

   1875 
  feet 
  on 
  the 
  western 
  slope 
  of 
  Moheganter 
  hill, 
  1860 
  feet 
  north- 
  

   west 
  of 
  Franklinton, 
  and 
  1910 
  feet 
  south 
  of 
  Huntersland. 
  140 
  

   feet 
  below 
  the 
  sandstone 
  and 
  red 
  shale 
  of 
  D

  is 
  the 
  Alexander 
  

   Campbell 
  flagging 
  etone 
  quarry 
  (D 
  3 
  ), 
  approximately 
  410 
  feet 
  above 
  

   Huntersland. 
  15 
  feet 
  of 
  blue 
  flagging 
  stone 
  capped 
  by 
  shales 
  is 
  

   shown, 
  which 
  was 
  formerly 
  worked 
  to 
  quite 
  an 
  extent. 
  No 
  fossils 
  

   were 
  found, 
  except 
  in 
  some 
  bluish 
  shales 
  a 
  little 
  blocky 
  in 
  tex- 
  

   ture.

  Below 
  the

  the 
  rocks 
  are 
  mostly 
  concealed 
  by 
  soil

   drift

  of

  On 
  the 
  eastern 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  Catskill 
  creek 
  and 
  only 
  a 
  

   few 
  rods 
  above 
  the 
  highway 
  one 
  mile 
  below 
  Franklinton 
  is 
  a 
  small 
  

   glen 
  with 
  falls, 
  the 
  rocks 
  in 
  which 
  consist 
  largely 
  of 
  greenish 
  

   shales 
  and 
  gray 
  sandstone 
  with 
  some 
  blue 
  shale, 
  and 
  two 
  layers 
  

   of 
  red 
  rocks. 
  The 
  lower 
  layer 
  is 
  a 
  crumbly, 
  mottled, 
  red 
  and 
  

   green 
  shale 
  in 
  the 
  face 
  of 
  the 
  falls 
  and 
  the 
  higher 
  one 
  a 
  sandstone 
  

   with 
  gray 
  sandstone 
  above 
  and 
  below. 
  A 
  loose 
  block 
  in 
  the 
  brook 
  

   contained 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  Spirifer 
  mesastrialis 
  Hall, 
  and 
  there 
  are 
  

   plenty 
  of 
  loose 
  pieces 
  of 
  conglomerate.
