the cross roads at Mrs. Yastbinder's. Going south from 

 this along Lackawaxen creek the outcrop of the Honesdale 

 sandstone series is seen almost continuously in a line of 

 cliffs. 



One half mile north from the southern line of the town- 

 ship, and near Mr. N. Haunstein's, the following section 

 was obtained on the right bank of the stream : (Fig. 46.) 



Haunstei n? s section. 



1. Sandstone, massive, gray, (Honesdale Upper,) visible, . 10' 



2. Concealed with red SS. at base, 40' 



3. Sandstone, grayish white, Honesdale Lower, 30' 



4. Concealed, 15' 



5. Sandstone, massive, visible, 10' 



105' 



No. 3 I know to be the Honesdale Lower sandstone, be- 

 cause I have followed it continuously northward from that 

 locality to this, by means of an almost unbroken line of cliff 

 outcrop along the hills ; the stratum is rather coarse, gray- 

 ish white and its top is quite red, indicating the nature of 

 the 40' concealed stratum just above ; elevation of base 

 1410' A. T. 



• At Fowler s mill, 1J miles south from Mt. Pleasant, Lacka- 

 waxen creek makes a fall of 20' over a red sandstone, and 

 shale ; while just above, we see a massive, greenish-gray 

 sandstone beginning at 1735' A. T. 



In the northeastern portion of the township, many out- 

 crops of massive sandstone are seen ; and great masses of 

 calcareous breccia lie scattered over the hills in every direc- 

 tion. 



Near school-house No. 9 the outcrop of a quite massive 

 rock is seen at 1725' A. T. South of this at A. Conner s 

 we see massive gray sandstones beginning at 1545' and con- 

 tinuing up the hill to 1630'. 



Just south of Rocklake P. O., the base of a white sand- 

 stone is seen at 1370' A. T. This is most probably the 

 Honesdale Lower, since one mile further south the base of 

 the Cherry Ridge limestone is seen at 1590' ; this is just 

 south of W. O. Neil's, and as we go on up the hill a mas- 

 sive sandstone is seen at 1640' A. T.
