8. LIVERPOOL TOWNSHIP. F\ 245 



The Kingsmill sandstone, of which a description was 

 given in the report on Wheatfield township, runs from 

 Greenwood (see report on that township) through Liverpool 

 to the Susquehanna river. It forms a stony ridge difficult 

 to cultivate and consequently left for the most part in 

 timber. This sandstone may be found about two miles 

 north of Liverpool near Dry saw-mill. No actual exposure 

 of the bed was discovered, but in the stone-piles scattered 

 over the fields several of the fossils so abundant in this rock 

 at its typical exposures in Wheatfield township were found. 

 There can be little or no doubt that this bed extends or 

 once extended over all the eastern part of Perry county 

 near the base of the Catskill group. 



The Pocono sandstone, No. X. 



The crest of Buffalo mountain is the dividing line be- 

 tween Liverpool and Buffalo townships. This mountain 

 runs in a straight line from the Juniata to the Susquehanna, 

 where it has been cut down by the river in order to afford 

 an escape for the water of the upper country. This gap 

 forms one of the picturesque features of the scenery at 

 Liverpool, and combines with that through Berry's mount- 

 ain, three miles below, to form the magnificent semi-pano- 

 ramic view so much admired by visitors and residents. 



The slope of Buffalo mountain in this township is, like 

 that in Greenwood, covered with timber so that the mount- 

 ain side is in summer an unbroken green wall cutting off 

 these two townships from Howe and Buffalo to the south.
