Prosser, section C ; fig. 200 



Three miles southwest of Middileiburg village, near the school- 

 house of district no. 11, the face of the hill is cut by a small brook 

 and at this locality, a road leaves the river road and climbs to the 

 top of the high hill. A section was measured from the level of 

 the Schoharie river along the brook and highway to the top of 

 the hill at this locality, which from a geological standpoint is a 

 very interesting study. The section is near the Middleburg- 

 Fulton township line being partly in each township, and ils base 

 is about opposite Watsonville on the western side of the river. 

 The lower 200 feet are covered, largely by sand; but then a Ledge 

 of coarse, arenaceous shales and thill sandstones (C 2 ) is reached.
