quarries most of the lime used in the west end of the county 

 is obtained. The limestone synclinal which form a high 

 knoll at Blain, gradually sinks until it comes down to the 

 level of the country, and consequently becomes more and 

 more inaccessible. It is, however, quarried by Mr. J. D. 

 Bhinesmith near the western line of the township, and about 

 half a mile north from the turnpike road and on the land 

 of Mr. Kern, near the same place. 



The OrisJcany sandstone, JYo. VII 



Only a small outcrop of this sandstone occurs in this town- 

 ship in its northeastern portion, where the long tongue pro- 

 jecting from the Sandy Hill synclinal caps the hill that over- 

 looks Blain. It is nearly destroyed here by erosion, and 

 makes no great show. The sandstone is here very ferru- 

 ginous, much of it consisting of an ochreous yellow sand- 

 stone with hard red irregular veins.
