through West Camp, Saugerties, Glasco, Lake Katrine, East 

 Kingston and Kingston (Rondout). From Kingston this section 

 extends southwest through Wilbur, Eddyville, Whiteport, Binne- 

 water, Rosendale to High Falls, all in Ulster county. 



1 Gallupville. On the left of the road leading north past the 

 cemetery, from Gallupville, at a distance of V2 mil e from the 

 village, there is exposed, though somewhat obscurely, the Cobles- 

 kill formation together with the underlying Salina shales. The 

 Lorraine shales are well shown here, as is the Rondout series 

 above the Cobleskill. This is the only section where the Cobles- 

 kill has been observed north of the Fox kill. Professor Prosser, 

 at a point farther west, near Shutter's Corners, has observed the 

 Rondout, but a careful study of the vicinity did not reveal any 

 outcrop of the Cobleskill. 



Shutters Corners. One half mile south of Shutter's Corners on 

 the farm of Seth Stevens, occurs an outcrop of the Cobleskill. 

 The weathered condition of the rock at this station has made it 

 favorable for collecting, though here and continuing for more 

 than a mile westward the vicinity of the outcrop is of a swampy 

 nature, owing to the low dip and the wearing away of the softer 

 rock above. Between this station and Schoharie the formation 

 is exposed at several points, and, where not exposed, its position 

 is marked by a small ridge rising above the general level of the 

 land. 



Schoharie; east side. To the east and northeast of Schoharie, 

 running obliquely up the hill from the African church, is an 

 almost continued exposure of this formation. This outcrop has 

 been noted by Mr Darton, and it is said that most of the Coralline 

 fossils of the William Gebhard collection were obtained from it. 

 One fourth mile east of the' postoffice at Schoharie, the shales 

 underlying the Cobleskill are exposed by the roadside, and a few 

 rods farther brings one to the old Brown quarry, at the base of 

 which is exposed the Cobleskill, followed by what is evidently a 

 cement rock nearly 5 feet thick. Above is a limestone in two 

 layers of nearly equal thickness, their total thickness being 50 

 inches. They here form the roadbed and can be traced a hundred 

 yards farther south to where Mr E. Vroman has recently opened 

 a quarry in them. These layers are worked as " Coralline." In-
