wild country in the western end of Perry and the eastern 

 end of Franklin counties. 



The relation and position of these various ranges will be 

 better understood by an inspection of Plate I. 



The portion of the Blue or Kittatinny mountain lying in 

 Toboyne township x^resents little that calls for special no- 

 tice. It is like the rest of the range, monoclinal except at its 

 eastern end, where a small fold develops itself on the north 

 side, narrowing Schaeffer valley and corresponding to the 

 zigzag in Bower mountain, above mentioned. On the oppo- 

 site side of the range a deep gorge has been excavated which, 

 from its form, bears the name of Three Square hollow. 



Very extensive and beautiful views can be obtained from 

 the toj)s of these mountains by those who have sufficient 

 perseverance to penetrate their tangled brush. From spots 

 where the timber has been cut or burnt a series of mountain 

 ranges may be seen rising one behind another in grand out- 

 line against the sky. For instance from the summit of Ris- 

 ing mountain, near the middle of the region, the eye can see 

 to the northward first the Round Top, then Conecocheague, 

 then West Tuscarora, and beyond these Shade mountain 

 and Black Log, and in the far distance Jack's mountain, in 

 Mifflin county. To the east the view ranges over Perry 

 county. Buffalo mountain, at Newport, is a conspicuous 

 object, all the intervening country being spread out like a 

 map. Amberson ridge cuts off the view to the south, and 

 that to the west is in like manner intercepted by high inter- 

 vening ground. 



The Clinton group, ( V.) 



The exposure of these rocks is exceedingly complicated 

 and difficult to trace in consequence of the effects of the 

 axes already mentioned. It is impossible to go into any 

 full or detailed description of the outcrops of its different 

 beds. They are very numerous and extensive. Another 

 difficulty arises from the incorrectness of the only topo- 

 graphical maps existing of the township. This has every- 

 where proved a barrier to careful and exact delineation, but 

 in Toboyne township it may be said that the physical fea-
