sandstone is seen at 1900' A. T. ; it represents one of the 

 massive sandstones that are often found in connection with 

 the Cherry Ridge limestone ; below it 50' is the outcrop of 

 a gray sandstone not so massive as the upper. 



About one half mile east from J. L. Putnam's, at the 

 western line of Scott, we find a long high ridge capped with 

 the Honesdale Lower sandstone at an elevation of 1825' 

 A. T. Descending from the summit the following succes- 

 sion is observed : 



Putnam s section. 



1. Sandstone, grayish white, Honesdale Lower, 35' 



2. Concealed, 40 



3. Sandstone, massive, 20 



4. Concealed, • • 200' 



5. Grayish green sandstone, 25' 



6. Concealed with occasional outcrops of S,S. to base of 



Catskill 8,8. series, on Starrucca creek, Susquehanna 

 county, S- 2 miles west, 515' 



In No. 6 are many beds of greenish-gray massive sand- 

 stones ; and at the base, near Steven's Point on Starrucca 

 creek, we find the New Milford Lower sandstone, a dark 

 greenish gray stratum making excellent building stone. 



From an inspection of the section it will be seen that the 

 Honesdale sandstone comes 800' above the New Milford 

 Lower sandstone, or 1000' above the base of the Catskill 

 system.
