The New Milford upper and lower sandstone seem to be 

 quite persistent, and occur at many points in the district. 

 No. 5 is also quite persistent, and frequently crops out in 

 cliffs over this and adjoining townships. The sandstones of 

 the group are all current-bedded and more or less divided 

 into layers 1" to 3" thick. 



At New Milford the lower sandstone occurs in a cliff along 

 the hill opposite the R.R. station ; above it No. 5 makes a 

 very bold cliff, from here south to the summit ; immense 

 blocks broken away from it lie scattered over the hill below. 



Anticlinal. — A low axis seems to cross the measures in 

 this township, near the R.R. cut across the summit-divide 

 between Salt Lick and Martin's creeks ; for the rocks rise 

 southward from New Milford to that summit and then im- 

 mediately begin to dip down in the same direction. 



About two miles north from New Milford the following 

 is seen in descending to Summerville along the road from 

 the crest of the hill on the east side of Salt Lick creek :

At the horizon of No. 1 a great mass of grayish white 

 sandstone was seen projecting from the hill ; but as it occurs 

 at only one locality, it may possibly be a bowlder which has 

 come down from a stratum somewhat higher ; since many 

 masses looking very much like it are scattered over the sur- 

 face both above and below that horizon. 



The New Milford upper sandstone is rather flaggy or 

 shaly toward the top, but very massive in the lower 25' ; it
