The Cat skill group. No. IX. 



This group which forms so conspicuous a feature in the 

 adjoining township, Juniata, makes very little show in Sa- 

 ville. Entering it on the east it consists of nothing but the 

 end of a syncline which has been almost eroded. The red 

 shale and sandstone of the Chemung-Catskill occupy, as 

 may be seen on the map, only a small space on the east side 

 of the township. They dip very slightly to the E. X. E., 

 E. and E. S. E. and immediately pass under the bed next 

 to be noticed, the Kingsmill sandstone. 



The Kingsmill sandstone coming into the township from 

 Juniata a little north of the Middle Ridge road, curves 

 round with a wide sweep and almost immediately passes 

 out again near the road leading to Walnut Grove school. 

 Only at one place in the township have I seen an outcrop 

 distinct enough to be measured. This is in a road through 

 the woods near Mr. D. Long's, where it is about 12 feet 

 thick. 



It thus appears rhat the Catskill proper scarcely exists 

 in Saville township.
