LENOX. G 5 . 149 



The main branch of the Tunkhannock creek enters the 

 township at its northeast corner, and flowing S. W. through 

 its center, drains the greater portion of the same. 



The East Branch enters it from Clifford, and flowing nearly 

 west along the southern border of the township joins the 

 main stream just before the latter passes out of the county. 



The rocks of this area belong exclusively to the Catsklll 

 system, since the horizon of the Carboniferous sweeps far 

 above its highest hills, and the Chemung is buried several 

 hundred feet below drainage level. 



Nothing of any special interest is to be seen in this town- 

 ship. The same monotonous succession of cliff sandstones, 

 massive and current-bedded, are to be seen in every portion 

 of the same. They belong to the top of the New Milford 

 and the Montrose sandstone group. The only change that 

 they show from their outcrop further north and west is the 

 increase of sandy and coarse material, and hence very possi- 

 bly a marked increase in thickness between the northern 

 and southern lines of the county. 



This increasing coarseness is finely shown in the north- 

 eastern portion of the township at the junction of the Har- 

 ford Branch with the main stream where an almost solid 

 wall of rock 200' high is seen on the south bank of Tunk- 

 hannock, there being probably not more than fifty feet of 

 shale in the whole 200 feet. 



The valleys are all filled with morainic ddbris, while the 

 upper surface of the rocks on the uplands are scratched and 

 scored with glacial strice. 



Lakes and lakelets are scattered over the township, among 

 which are Loomis, Round, Robinson, Tea, and others.
