 nice flagging obtained ; it comes just above the horizon of 

 the Cherry Ridge conglomerate. 



East from Waymart, on the south shore of Keen's Pond, 

 a grayish white cliff is seen skirting the same at 1340' A. T. ;

This lies immediately south from Canaan and like it joins 

 the Lackawanna county line, being drained entirely by the 

 Middle Branch of Lackawaxen and its tributaries. 



The Moosic mountain range passes along the western lino 

 of this township, getting further and further away toward 

 its southern part, since this range now takes a southwestern 

 direction parallel to the Lackawanna Coal Basin. 



The rocks of the township belong to the CatsJcill series 

 except a very narrow belt at the extreme northwestern cor- 

 ner, where the lowest members of the Pocono caj3 the high- 

 est summits. 



On the road that crosses the Moosic mountain, next south 

 from Rix's Gap, the following succession is seen just west 

 from the Wayne county line.
