No. 1 of this section is identical with No. 1 in the Mont- 

 rose section, and the sandstones of the series below are the 

 same as those found below it at Montrose, although the red 

 shale is not reached here in the section, because the expos- 

 ure does not extend down far enough. 



In ascending the hill road from School House No. 9 we 

 see &flag quarry along the roadside on the land of Mr. Mul- 

 ford at an elevation of 1535' A. T. ; the rock is of a grayish- 

 green color, and comes in layers 2" to 4" thick. 



As we continue on up the hill, the outcrop of the Mon- 

 trose red shale is seen in a broad band of red across the 

 road ; and at 1665' above tide, we come up to the base of 

 another massive sandstone. 



At the western line of Bridgewater, near 0. E. Green's, 

 several massive beds of sandstone are seen in long lines of 

 cliffs commencing at 1575' A. T. and extending up to 1725'. 

 They are most probably a portion of the Montrose series, 

 since there is a slight dip to the westward from the neigh- 

 borhood of Montrose. 



One mile west from E. E. Chamberlin' s, a massive mem- 

 ber of the Montrose sandstone series is seen in the summit 

 of the hill at 1670' A. T. Two miles east, in the hill near 

 B. Millards, the same rock is seen in a bold cliff, its base 

 coming there 1670' A. T. Two more massive layers are seen 

 above it extending to the summit of the hill at 1735' A. T. 



Near the county Poor Asylum some massive sandstones 

 are seen, and one crops out at 1450' A. T. This would come 

 just below the base of the Montrose red shale horizon. 



One mile northeast from Montrose, is a beautiful sheet of 

 water called Jones' Lake, about 6 acres in extent, and sur- 

 rounded by banks of Glacial debris, thus proving that its 

 basin is of Glacial origin either by direct erosion or by the 

 darning up of a preexisting valley.
