NEW MILFORD. G 5 . Ill 



Near the southern line of the township on the D. L. & W. 

 R.R. and f mile above Montrose Depot, a massive gray, cur- 

 rent-bedded sandstone 25' thick is seen 30' above the R.R. 

 track ; it occurs in a cliff for a considerable distance and 

 contains many plant remains ; olive and reddish shales come 

 in below ir. 



About 2 miles above Montrose Depot a bed of calcareous 

 conglomerate with fish fragments, rises above R.R. level, 

 and a short distance above another fish conglomerate comes 

 in as exhibited in the following : (Fig. 27.) 



Two miles above Montrose depot. 



1. Sandstone, flaggy, 10' 



2. Sandstone, massive, 10' 



3. Fish conglomerate, . . . 5' 



4. Shale, blue, to track level, 2' 



Only 50 feet further up the track the fish conglomerate 

 entirely disappears, and we obtain the following: (Fig. 28.) 



1. Sandstone, (same as No. 2 of preceding), 10' 



2. Shale, olive and blueish, 4' 



3. Sandstone, dark-gray to track level, 4 



The fish conglomerate can be seen gradually disappearing 

 between these two sections ; it is a calcareous rock filled 

 with pieces of greenish-blue slate, and small fish fragments, 

 much worn, and entirely undeterminable with reference to 

 specific or generic characters. 



About 40 rods further north along the R.R. track, a very 

 massive current-bedded sandstone is seen 45' above the level 

 of the same, and this is the New Mllford Lower sandstone. 

 The following is seen there : (Fig. 29.) 



1. Sandstone, massive, {New Mil ford Lower,) 20' 



2. Shales and sandstone, 25' 



3. Sandstone, 10' 



4. Shale, brick-red, to R.R. level, 10' 



About 100 yards above this, the following is seen in a R. 

 R. cut: (Fig." 30.) 



1. Sandstone, massive, gray, 20' 



2. Shale, olive, 4 



3. Shale, red, to track level, 16' 



No. 3 is the same as No. 4 of the preceding section, only 

 we see 6' more of it here, since the strata are rising quite
