color seamed with white, somewhat brecciated, and resembles 

 much the red Winooski limestone (Primordial). The quartzyte 

 ridge was nearly half made up of hydromica slate. 



For a mile northeast of the Wejbridge Upper Falls, across 

 the railroad, the "striped stratum" is seen in short ai 

 without fossils; but in a fold skirting the western foot of Town 

 Hill, near an old lime-kiln, on the farm of A. Lorraine, three 

 miles southwest of New Haven village, Rhynchonellce were 

 found. The same formation extends on and contains fossils in 

 Brookville, and " in northeastern Middlebury east of Chipman 

 Hill, a little north of Mr. Foot's residence, just east of the road 

 going to Mr. Hammond's." 



In the northwestern part of the town of New Haven, one and 

 one-half miles north of New Haven depot, a few rods west of 

 Mr. Charles Mason's residence, the road to Monkton cuts 

 the western border of a low quartzyte anticlinal, hav- 

 ing an eastward and westward dip in the opposite directions. 

 Following the quartzyte northward twenty-five or thirty rods, 

 Fucoids and Scotithi are found in it. The quartzyte to the 

 west and east dips under heavy beds of "dolomitic siliceous 

 limestone." Farther east there is a thick stratum of white 

 crystalline limestone or marble; next, beds of "sandstone" 

 and concretionary limestone ; next, a coarse " sandstone" con- 

 glomerate ; next, limestone. " Obscure Orthocerata, convoluted 

 shells and an Orthis were seen," and they appear to be fossils 

 of the " Ophileta beds" or Upper Calciferous. " The limestones 

 end in Monkton not half a mile north of this place," the rock 

 beyond being the Bed Sandrock, with its Seolithi and Fw»i<ls. 

 terous formation is thus traced to the northern limit 

 of the Eolian limestone.

 dip. ihe general relations of the beds are shown in the above 

 section.
