THOMPSON. G 5 . 103 



No. 2 is the peculiar red sandstone which we always find 

 interpolated between the two members of the Honesdale 

 sandstone group. It has a very fine grain and lamination, 

 but yet is quite sandy and often found in rounded bowlders 

 in the Drift deposits. 



On the opposite side of the creek from Starrucca Depot, 

 No. 1 is seen in a great massive cliff extending around the 

 hills. 



At the high trestle of the Jefferson Branch R.R., over a 

 stream in the northeastern corner of this township, a mas- 

 sive grayish -green current-bedded sandstone 20' thick is seen 

 just below R.R. level. 



On the country road between Thompson Station and Ara- 

 rat, many very massive cliffs of sandstone are seen jutting 

 from the hills, while at some localities the surface of the 

 ground is almost entirely concealed from view by the great 

 numbers of huge bowlders that have broken away from the 

 neighboring cliffs.

10. Jackson, in Susquehanna county. 



This lies next west from Thompson, having Oakland at the 

 north and Gibson for its south boundary. 



The northern half of this area drains northward into the 

 Susquehanna river, while the southern half, though drain- 

 ing in an opposite direction, finally reaches the Susquehanna 

 by way of Tunkhannock creek. 



The rocks of the township belong entirely to the CatsMll 

 series, the highest ones belong to the Honesdale sandstone 

 group, which caps some of the highest hills in long lines of 

 grayish-white cliffs.
