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



About three quarters of a mile east from Fairdale P. O. a 

 bed of red shale is seen of which 20' to 30' are exposed at the 

 roadside. 



Along the bed of the Wyalusing at T. F. Cooper's a 

 stratum of massive sandstone is seen at 1090' A. T. and this 

 is most probably the New Milford Lower sandstone. 



At School House No. 4, one mile below Cooper's, a cliff 

 sandstone is seen in the hill at 1300' A. T. and 150' higher 

 in the hill another makes its appearance ; this last stratum 

 probably represents the New Milford Upper sandstone 

 since its base has an elevation of 1450' above tide. 



The highest summits in this township extend up to about 

 the horizon of the Montrose red shale, but as it is soft and 

 easily disintegrated, no exposure of it was seen, since the 

 roads do not pass over any ground high enough to catch it, 

 and along nothing else do we get any shale exposures in 

 this township.

This lies west from the northern half of Bridgewater, and 

 directly north from Jessup. 



The drainage passes into the Wyalusing, except a small 

 area at the extreme northern line, which goes northward by 

 way of Choconut and Snake creeks. 



The rocks of the township belong exclusively to the Cats- 

 Mil, though where the middle branch of Wyalusing passes 

 out of the township, the top of the Chemung can not be 

 much over 100' below its bed. 



Near the south-western corner of this township, the New 

 Milford Lower sandstone is seen in a cliff along the hills,
