the same fossiliferous horizon that is seen at Red Rock in 

 Great Bend. 



In No. 4 are many nodnles of iron ore in kidney-shaped 

 masses. Just on top of No. 1 comes 10' of brick red shale 

 which is the same as that referred to above as occurring be- 

 low Susquehanna. 



8. Harmony, in Susquehanna county. 



This occupies the extreme northeast corner of Susque- 

 hanna county, being bounded on the north by New York 

 and east by Wayne county. 



The Susquehanna river flows along its western border from 

 the northern State line until it reaches its central line when 

 it turns off westward into Oakland. The river therefore re- 

 ceives all the drainage, principally through two streams — 

 Starrucca and Canawacta creeks. 



The rocks of this area belong to the Chemung and Cats- 

 kill, the former occurring only along the Susquehanna river 

 and the lower portions of Starrucca and Canawacta creeks. 



USF" 3 In this township lower Chemung rocks are seen than 

 at any other locality in the two counties, and the transition 

 rocks between the Chemung and Catskill are perfectly ex- 

 posed. 



Just opposite the junction of the Jeiferson Branch of the 

 Erie R.R. with the main line, two miles from Susquehanna 

 Depot, the New Milford lower sandstone is seen jutting out 

 of the hill on the left bank of the Susquehanna river at 

 130(y A. T. or 50' higher than the same stratum 3J miles 

 further down the river in Oakland township. The rock is 

 20' thick, and its base comes 30(V above the upper red shale 

 band in the Chemung seen along the R.R. below. 



As we pass up Starrucca creek eastward the rocks dip 

 rapidly down, so that when we come to Steven's Point, 1| 

 miles from Jefferson Junction or 4^ miles from Susquehanna 

 Depot, the base of the New Milford lower sandstone is found 

 225' lower than it is opposite Starrucca bridge, i. e. only 

 1075' above tide. In descending from that locality along Star- 

 rucca creek the following section was compiled : (Pig. 20.)
