courses. The land on this belt is poor as is usually the case 

 on this shales or yellow slate as they are called in the dis- 

 trict. 



The Chemung shale has a uniform S. S. E. dip except 

 near the fold in Dick's hill, and I have not observed any 

 subsidiary llexures in the township. It is, however, prob- 

 able that some, at least, of the numerous wrinkles on the 

 east side of the Juniata extend to the west bank. 



The Chemung-Calskill beds, VIII-IX. 



Section in passage beds between Chemung and Catskill 

 north of Kingsmill. 



The following section occurs near the base of the red shales 

 at the top of the hill half a mile north of Kingsmill : 



Dip 250 S. 30° E. 



Yellowish-green sandstone (with fossils) indicated only by- 

 loose stones, (d on map below.) 

 Red shale, sandy and micaceous, with green sandstone

The base of this section is near the top of the Chemung, 

 but I found no traces of a fish bed along the part examined. 



Below the base of this section at the brook is a bed of 

 green smooth shale. A bed very similar occurs near the mid- 

 dleof the Linton's Hill section. (See report on Penn town- 

 ship. ) Farthers outhward and passing Mr. Smith's farm- 

 house th.' ground descends to the road junction, and on the

 pebbles i no! concretionary, of a greenish-brown sandy shale-
