forms the summit of the divide ; the road leading across it 

 passes along a narrow defile cut down 50' perpendicularly on 

 either side. 



No. 5 is the same stratum as No. 5 of the preceding sec- 

 tion at New Miiford. 



In No. 6, occasional outcrops of red shale are seen, and 

 the base of this interval extends down nearly to the top of 

 the Chemung. 



In ascending the hill from New Miiford toward Montrose 

 a very massive sandstone is seen at 1500' A. T. ; it forms a 

 line of cliffs around the hills, and is also seen on the oppo- 

 site or east side of the valley. Above this sandstone, which 

 is the New Miiford upper, we see red shale from 1600' to 

 1650' ; at 1655' A. T. we come to a massive sandstone ; with 

 another one above it 75' higher up the hill. 



At the roadside near Mr. T. B. Wilson's a massive sand- 

 stone at 1550' A. T. has been quarried ; of a greenish gray 

 color, in layers one half to one foot thick. 



In descending the hill from Mr. Wilson' s to Beaver creek 

 at School House No. 5 a large amount of red shale is seen 

 at 1300' to 1350' A. T. 



In passing south from New Miiford the base of the second 

 cliff rock at No. 5 of the section there, is frequently seen at 

 1240' A. T. Two miles south the following section was taken 

 in descending a sharp point : (Fig. 25. ) 



Two miles south of New Miiford. 



1. Sandstone, massive, 20' 



2. Red shale, 70' 



3. Sandstone, massive, 20' 



4. Concealed, 100' 



5. Sandstone, (base 1285' A. T.), 20' 



6. Concealed to level of road, 75' 



No. 5 is the same stratum which occurs in the hills at 

 New Miiford 1250' A. T., and its elevation here (1285') shows 

 a rise southward of 35' in the mile between the two points. 



An anticlinal must therefore exist a short distance south 

 from this locality, since one mile further south the rocks are 

 seen dipping in the opposite direction. The stratum in 

 question is easily traced from New Miiford, being visible
