the remarkable dip of 46° SSW, with vertical divisional planes 



running parallel with Iho strike. The rock is occasionally 



.1 with iron, is of medium fineness and gljstcns in the sun, 



he glassy clearness of the quartzoso grains. For caps 



and sills it is apparently superior to the Napoleon sandstone. 



This quarry occurs upon a ridge elevated about 85 feet abovo 

 the lin which is exposed over an area of a square mile, 



begi: iw rods further west. It lias every appearance of 



■nt uplift, but the undisturbed position of the underlying 

 limestone seems incompatible with this supposition, and we are 

 foiceo ludc that the apparent dip of the formation is 



nothing more than a very illusory example of oblique lamination. 



At the N. E. J of S. YV. {-, sec. 18, Parma, near where the 

 highw Lice creek, this sandstone affords a Catamite. 



At the S. \V. .; of N. E. }, sec. 19, Parma, it has been quarried 

 by Mr. L. II. l-'isk. The rock is nearly white, sometimes vary- 

 ing to a tight straw color; and in some places is quite full of 

 small white quartzosc pebbles. A portion of the Albion flour 

 mill was built from this quarry. 



Very numerous quarries have been opened in this formation 

 in the northern* part of Jackson county, but it is unnecessary 

 to particularize at i resent. 



m Mrs Titus' quarry, the outcrop trends south-east toward 

 the v Barry, and is worked at several points. AtBoyn- 



tor.'s quarry, half a mile north-west of the Barry coal mines, is 

 a fine ( xp Bure of m assive sandstone, which, though occupying 

 a higher geographical position than the coal, is nevertheless 

 believed to belong geologically below it. It is found above
