112 Gr 5 . REPORT OF PROGRESS. I. C. WHITE. 



rapidly to the north. A short distance above this, another 

 local fish conglomerate is seen just below the lowest mem- 

 ber of the preceding section. 



Keeping still further north along the R.R. we see 50' to 60' 

 more of red shales rise successively above the level of the 

 track and finally about half way between New Milford and 

 Montrose Station a sandstone, of fine grain, and greenish 

 color comes up and has been quarried extensively at the side 

 of the D. L. & W. R.R. It is rather a massive ledge and 

 20' thick down to R.R. level. The New Milford Lower 

 sandstone juts out of the hill 140' above the track level, and 

 120' above the base of the red shale, thus making about 90' 

 of that stratum at this locality, since the red shale comes in 

 immediately above the quarry sandstone. 



In the next cut, 100 yards above this, 40' of greenish sand- 

 stone is seen below the red shale, and one fourth mile above 

 that the following is seen along the R. R. track : 



1. Sandstone, greenish gray, 25' 



2. Shale, olive, friable, 6' 



3. Sandstone, green, flaggy, to R.R. track, 10' 



The Wilmot anticlinal axis here crosses the D. L. & 

 W. R.R. (3 miles south from New Milford) and as we go 

 north the rocks dip down instead of rising, so that the sand- 

 stones of the preceding section soon pass under track level 

 and the New Milford red shale above them comes down. 

 One mile above the stone quarry and 2h from New Milford 

 50' of red shale is seen in a cut along the R.R. When we 

 come to the summit cut, 1 mile south from New Milford the 

 New Milford Lower sandstone shows in a cliff there 30', 

 above the track level. 



It has also been quarried for flagging to a considerable 

 extent on the land of Mr. Bar tie, just south of the summit 

 cut.
