174 G 5 . REPORT OF PROGRESS. I. C. WHITE. 



Three miles further south and near school-house No. 8, 

 the base of the Cherry Ridge limestone occurs at 1520' A. 

 T. while a massive sandstone occurs in immense cliffs for 50 

 feet further up the hill. 



At the very southeastern edge of Mt. Pleasant, where the 

 road crosses the head waters of Dyeberry, the Honesdale 

 Lower sandstone is seen making a long white cliff, its top 

 only a few feet above water level, and there the following is 

 seen on the land of Mr. Cramer : (Fig. 47.)

The Cherry Ridge limestone and sandstone are in imme- 

 diate contact as usual, and great masses of the former, black- 

 ened by the weathering, lie scattered over the hill ; it also 

 makes a conspicuous ledge ; base 1500' above tide. 



The red shale occurs in a very conspicuous band of almost 

 blood-red material along the road which ascends the hill at 

 this locality. 



The Honesdale Upper sandstone is concealed in the inter- 

 val above the Honesdale Lower.
