﻿INTRODUCTION— 
  OUTLINE 
  OF 
  GENERAL 
  RESULTS 
  

   By 
  J. 
  F. 
  Kemp 
  and 
  D. 
  H. 
  Newland 
  

  

  The 
  field 
  work 
  for 
  the 
  accompanying 
  report 
  was 
  done 
  in 
  Au- 
  

   gust, 
  September 
  and 
  October 
  1897. 
  It 
  was 
  chiefly 
  performed 
  

   by 
  Mr 
  Newland, 
  acting 
  under 
  the 
  general 
  direction 
  of 
  Prof. 
  Kemp 
  

   by 
  whom 
  the 
  report 
  has 
  been 
  finally 
  written. 
  The 
  area 
  joins 
  that 
  

   portion 
  of 
  Essex 
  co., 
  lying 
  to 
  the 
  north, 
  which 
  has 
  already 
  been 
  

   reported 
  upon,® 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  our 
  intention 
  to 
  complete 
  if 
  possible 
  in 
  

   1898 
  the 
  mapping 
  of 
  the 
  crystalline 
  rocks 
  to 
  the 
  fringe 
  of 
  paleo- 
  

   zoic 
  strata 
  on 
  the 
  south. 
  

  

  One 
  of 
  our 
  chief 
  objects, 
  specially 
  in 
  the 
  northwestern 
  portion 
  

   of 
  the 
  region 
  here 
  described 
  has 
  been 
  to 
  determine 
  the 
  southern 
  

   and 
  southwestern 
  limits 
  of 
  the 
  Norian 
  series 
  of 
  labradorite 
  rocks. 
  

   Our 
  work 
  has 
  proved 
  that 
  on 
  the 
  southwest 
  so 
  far 
  as 
  we 
  now 
  

   know, 
  they 
  do 
  not 
  cross 
  the 
  Essex 
  co. 
  line, 
  but 
  are 
  succeeded 
  by 
  

   the 
  usual 
  gneisses 
  and 
  crystalline 
  limestones. 
  This 
  will 
  appear 
  

   at 
  once 
  from 
  the 
  geologic 
  maps 
  submitted 
  herewith. 
  We 
  have 
  

   found 
  them 
  on 
  Moose 
  pond, 
  on 
  Mt 
  Santanoni 
  and 
  on 
  Cold 
  river 
  

   near 
  the 
  Preston 
  ponds, 
  but 
  to 
  the 
  west 
  and 
  south, 
  beyond 
  these 
  

   points 
  they 
  soon 
  die 
  out. 
  Inasmuch 
  as 
  they 
  are 
  reported 
  to 
  re- 
  

   appear 
  at 
  the 
  gorge 
  of 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  at 
  Littlefalls, 
  there 
  are 
  

   probably 
  other 
  small 
  areas 
  in 
  the 
  intervening 
  wilderness, 
  but 
  

   we 
  do 
  not 
  anticipate 
  extended 
  developments. 
  & 
  Prof. 
  Smyth's 
  

   work 
  will 
  throw 
  light 
  on 
  this 
  question 
  in 
  time. 
  This 
  statement 
  

   refers 
  specially 
  to 
  those 
  rocks 
  which 
  are 
  chiefly 
  labradorite 
  (i. 
  e. 
  

   the 
  anorthosites). 
  The 
  basic 
  gabbros 
  we 
  have 
  found 
  in 
  wide 
  dis- 
  

   tribution 
  and 
  some 
  of 
  our 
  gneisses 
  as 
  later 
  set 
  forth 
  may 
  belong 
  

   with 
  the 
  Norian 
  rocks. 
  

  

  As 
  a 
  result 
  of 
  the 
  field 
  work 
  on 
  which 
  this 
  report 
  is 
  based 
  and 
  

   of 
  the 
  subsequent 
  study 
  of 
  thin 
  sections 
  of 
  many 
  of 
  the 
  rocks

  in

  of
