HARMONY. Gr 5 . 101 



with the conclusion to which Mr. Sherwood arrived many 

 years ago with regard to the identity of the Fall creek and 

 Panama conglomerate. Mr. Sherwood claims to have traced 

 the horizon through. But I rely for my determination on the 

 peculiar lithological composition which is the same in each, 

 on the similar associated fossils, and also on the parallel hori- 

 zons of each, viz : about 130' below the top of the Chemung. 



No. 8 is a brown sandstone filled with Chemung shells 

 and Crinoidal fragments. It comes in layers, one to two 

 feet thick, and these break out in very regular prismatic 

 blocks, since the joints are very even and close together. 



Nos. 9, 10, 11, are also richly fossiliferous in Spirifera, 

 Rhynchonella, Leiorhynchus, Productella, and many 

 others, as well as multitudes of small Crinoidal stems. 



'This is the lowest Chemung rode in the two counties. 



This section taken with the preceding one 2J miles south 

 give a continuous exposure 250' below the top of the Che- 

 mung. 



As we pass northeastward from Cascade Bridge, along the 

 N. Y., L. E. & W. R.R, the rocks still continue to rise 

 quite rapidly, and at the Summit cut, 5 miles away, the 

 New Mllford lower sandstone has an elevation of 1250' A. 

 T. having risen 275' from the vicinity of Susquehanna De- 

 pot, H miles below which it has an elevation of 1250' A. T. 



At the Summit cut which is in the State of New York, 

 and about three miles north of this township, we see an ex- 

 posure of 150' of red and brown shales, interstratified with 

 thin layers of more sandy material. Just above this the 

 massive New Mllford Lower sandstone juts out in a verti- 

 cal cliff. 



Anticlinal. — This ridge seems to represent a low axis 

 which may be a continuation northward of the Moosic Mt. 

 range. As we pass eastward from it the strata dip rapidly 

 down ; for, when Ave come to Deposit, 7 miles away, the 

 base of the New Mllford Lower sandstone has fallen to 

 1050' above tide or a dip of (1525'— lOSC) 475' in this dis- 

 tance, or 70' per mile.
