Height of station , 252 feet. 



Height of main street of village , 275 " 



Height of lowest Medina bed 270 " 



Height of lowest layer or section, quarried for terra-cotta 295 " 



From the above it may be reasonably inferred that the height of 

 the line of junction between the two groups of rock (Hudson River 

 and Medina) is about two hundred and sixty feet above Lake Ontario. 



The most interesting fact of all, however, appears, when 

 we remember that this same line of junction reaches the north shore 

 of Lake Ontario, near Oakville, at a distance of eleven miles from 

 Streetsville, and in the direction S. 24 8' 32" E., or approximately 

 S. 25 s E. This being, as has been already said, the line of the 

 strike of the formations, it follows that the difference of level gives us 

 the side of a low flat anticlinal of dip S. 25 E., and rate of 25 feet to 

 the mile nearly, the axis of the anticlinal lying in the direction of the 

 dip of the strata, and nearly parallel to the well-known, striking 

 Cincinnati anticlinal arch. So far, the other side of this anticlinal 

 fold, or even its summit, has not yet been found, but more thorough 

 search may reveal it in the river beds of the counties of Peel or of 

 Dufferin.
