30. Buckingham, in Wayne county. 



This township has for its western boundary Scott and 

 Preston, while on the east it borders the Delaware river for 

 several miles ; it is a very long, narrow and irregular area, 

 having a remarkable similarity in general shape to Wayne 

 county as a whole. 



The entire surface drains into the Delaware river, and the 

 water is mostly carried off by small streams which head only 

 three to four miles back on the highlands and descend with a 

 very rapid fall. 



The rocks of the township belong entirely to the CatsJcill. 



About two miles east from Lake Como the outcrop of a 

 massive sandstone is seen at 1500' A. T., and above it on the 

 opposite side of the valley near G. W. Sherman's, there oc- 

 curs a great cliff of whitish sandstone, whose base comes at 

 1600'. This most probably represents the Honesclale Lower 

 sandstone since it is found nearly due Avest from this in 

 Preston at about the same elevation ; the sandstone is not 

 naturally whitish, but becomes so only on its bleached or 

 exposed surfaces ; on fresh fracture it is generally grayish- 

 brown with much oxide of iron interspersed ; but when ex- 

 posed the iron is leached out. and the sandgrains decolorized.

 go down over a continuous succession of current-bedded, 

 grayish-green sandstone, and red shales for 800', and then do
