  it 
  are 
  

   fine, 
  bluish 
  argillaceous 
  shales 
  which 
  contain 
  a 
  few 
  Hamilton

   near

  top 
  of 
  the 
  ridge 
  between 
  the 
  two 
  branches 
  of 
  Cabin 
  river 
  

   are 
  fossiliferous 
  rocks 
  which 
  are 
  also 
  apparently 
  in 
  the

  will 
  be 
  seen

  The 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  ridge 
  however 
  on 
  the 
  southern 
  road 
  one 
  

   half 
  mile 
  farther 
  south 
  is 
  composed 
  of 
  rather 
  greenish, 
  unfossil- 
  

   iferous 
  shales 
  similar 
  in 
  lithologic 
  appearance 
  to 
  the 
  Sherburne. 
  

   On 
  the 
  highway 
  to 
  the 
  east 
  of 
  Cabin 
  river 
  one 
  mile 
  below 
  Grape- 
  

   ville 
  and 
  150 
  feet 
  lower 
  than 
  the 
  greenish 
  shales 
  on 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  

   ridge 
  to 
  the 
  northeast 
  are 
  bluish 
  shales 
  containing 
  Hamilton 
  

   fossils. 
  Passing 
  westward 
  these 
  were 
  the 
  last 
  Hamilton 
  fossils 
  

   seen 
  and 
  the 
  top 
  of 
  the 
  Hamilton 
  has 
  been 
  represented 
  as 
  cross- 
  

   ing 
  from 
  Westerlo 
  the 
  northeast 
  corner 
  of 
  Greenville 
  into 
  New 
  

   Baltimore 
  township. 
  Then 
  it 
  runs 
  along 
  the 
  western 
  side 
  of 
  

   Cabin 
  river 
  as 
  far 
  perhaps 
  as 
  one 
  mile 
  below 
  Grapeville, 
  when 
  it 
  

   crosses 
  the 
  river, 
  makes 
  a 
  loop 
  round 
  the 
  ridge 
  on 
  the 
  eastern 
  

   side 
  and 
  follows 
  that 
  southeasterly 
  toward 
  Urlton 
  (formerly 
  

   Jacksonville) 
  in 
  Coxsackie 
  township. 
  There 
  are 
  possibly 
  reddish 
  

   rocks 
  on 
  the 
  ridge 
  west 
  of 
  Grapeville, 
  but 
  one 
  and 
  one 
  half 
  miles 
  

   farther 
  west 
  on 
  the 
  ridge 
  east 
  of 
  East 
  Greenville 
  are 
  clear 
  red
