  fossil 
  mollusca 
  have 
  been 
  found 
  after 
  the 
  appearance 
  of 
  the 
  red 
  

   rocks 
  in 
  any 
  considerable 
  thickness. 
  

  

  The 
  divide 
  to 
  the 
  north 
  between 
  Lake 
  and 
  Stony 
  brooks 
  is 
  some 
  

   375 
  feet 
  higher 
  than 
  the 
  red 
  shales 
  of 
  B

  , 
  or 
  approximately 
  2125 
  

   feet

  On 
  the 
  northern 
  slope 
  in 
  the 
  southwestern 
  corner 
  of 
  

   Berne 
  township 
  descending 
  into 
  the 
  valley 
  of 
  Stony 
  creek 
  above 
  

   Huntersland 
  the 
  lowest 
  reds 
  seen 
  have 
  an 
  approximate 
  altitude 
  

   of 
  1870 
  feet 
  A. 
  T. 
  If 
  this 
  be 
  the 
  lowest 
  zone 
  of 
  the 
  reds 
  on 
  this 
  

   hill 
  and 
  LXXVI 
  B 
  4 
  the 
  same 
  zone 
  in 
  Lake 
  brook 
  then 
  it 
  shows 
  a 
  

   dip 
  of 
  142 
  feet 
  a 
  mile 
  SSW. 
  If 
  a 
  similar 
  calculation 
  be 
  made 
  

   between 
  the 
  zone 
  of 
  red 
  shale 
  in 
  the 
  southwestern 
  corner 
  of 
  Berne 
  

   township 
  and 
  the 
  red 
  shales 
  of 
  LXXVI

  on 
  the 
  hill 
  west 
  of 
  

   Livingstonville 
  there 
  will 
  be 
  a 
  dip 
  of 
  120 
  feet 
  a 
  mile 
  to 
  the

  On 
  the 
  map 
  accompanying 
  this 
  report 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  division 
  

   between 
  the 
  Hamilton 
  and 
  Sherburne 
  formations 
  is 
  represented 
  

   as 
  entering 
  the 
  northwestern 
  part 
  of 
  Broome 
  township; 
  follow- 
  

   ing 
  the 
  western 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  Catskill 
  valley 
  to 
  a 
  mile 
  below 
  Frank- 
  

   linton 
  where 
  it 
  crosses 
  the 
  creek 
  and 
  then 
  continues 
  northerly 
  

   along 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  steep 
  hills 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  valley 
  

   tc 
  the 
  Broome-Middleburg 
  township 
  line 
  when 
  the 
  trend 
  is 
  

   nearly 
  easterly 
  into 
  the 
  southwestern 
  part 
  of 
  Berne 
  township, 
  

   Albany 
  co. 
  

  

  For 
  convenience 
  in 
  mapping, 
  as 
  has 
  been 
  stated, 
  the 
  lowest 
  

   conspicuous 
  zone 
  of 
  red 
  rocks 
  is 
  considered 
  as 
  indicating 
  the 
  

   base 
  of 
  the 
  Oneonta 
  formation. 
  This 
  zone 
  enters 
  the 
  north- 
  

   western 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  township 
  from 
  Moheganter 
  hill 
  and 
  follows 
  

   the 
  flank 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  west 
  of 
  Catskill 
  creek 
  to 
  near 
  the 
  Broome- 
  

   Rensselaerville 
  township 
  line, 
  where 
  it 
  crosses 
  the 
  creek 
  and 
  

   then 
  running 
  northerly 
  to 
  the 
  northern 
  slope 
  of 
  the 
  high 
  divide 
  

   in 
  the 
  northern 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  township 
  it 
  turns 
  east 
  into 
  the 
  south- 
  

   western 
  corner 
  of 
  Berne 
  township.
