SALEM — STERLING. G 5 . 203 



This is the first locality where any sandstone occurs in 

 the bed of the Paupack after leaving Wilsonville, 12 miles 

 below ; here all at once however the stream bed narrows up 

 and cuts a vertical channel in the lowest member of the above 

 section, about 200 yards long and only 20' to 30' wide ; the 

 pebbly sandstone cropping out in immense ledges on each 

 side of the gorge have given name to the village. 



Xear Marsh Pond at 1445' A. T. a pebbly white sandstone 

 is seen which contains some calcareous breccia. 



On the land of S. B. Dolph, just south from Jones's Lake 

 the Cherry Ridge sandstone occurs at 1465' A. T. and on 

 above at 1490' a massive pebbly sandstone is seen which also 

 contains some calcareous breccia. 



At the head of the plane, Station 17 of the Pennsylvania 

 Coal Company the track is on the top of a very massive 

 grayish-white pebbly sandstone 1440' A. T., and 50' below it 

 another occurs very much like it, while at 1365' a dark sand- 

 stone is seen.
