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



The Honesdale Lower sandstone is not so thick by half ; 

 while the red shale horizon below it seems to contain much 

 more sandstone than at Honesdale. This is only one ex- 

 ample of the sudden change in character and color which 

 so often takes place in the CatsMll series within very short 

 distances. 



The Honesdale Upper sandstone a grayish white stratum, 

 quite massive, contains angular quartz pebbles the size of a 

 pea. 



Near the base of No. 10 a large bony plate of a fossil 

 fisli is seen imbedded in the rock. 



In ascending the light track of the Gravity R.R. from 

 Honesdale, a sandstone is seen at 1080' A. T. ; then at 1120 

 a red sliale begins, and continues on up the hill to base of 

 a massive sandstone near the engine house at 1170'. 



The following section is seen opposite Tracy ville, one mile 

 below Honesdale, along the road leading to Bunnell' s pond : 

 (Fig. 53.)

1. Massive sandstone, {Honesdale Upper,) 20' 



2. Concealed, .75' 



3. Red shale (with very little concealed,) Montrose, .... 200' 



4. Sandstone, Paupaek, visible, (top 1025' A. T.,) 15' 



310' 



There are one or two thin sandstones in the W0' Montrose 

 red shale, one at 1100', and another at 1065' A. T. ; below 

 which last we see 40' of blood red shale finely exposed along 

 the little stream which descends to the creek at Tracey ville. 



The Honesdale Loioer sandstone is most probably con- 

 cealed in the 75' interval just above the Montrose red shale. 



On the opposite (west) side of the Lacka waxen valley the 

 following structure is exhibited along the road which de- 

 scends the hill below the Erie R.R. depot : (Fig. 54.)

3. Sandstone, {Honesdale Lower,) 25' 



4. Concealed, 110'
