Morris. 



Morris township, Otsego county, lies on the eastern side of the TJnadilla 

 river, directly east of the southern part of New Berlin tow nship. 



XX D 1 . The hill on the eastern side of the river is steeper than the 

 one on the western side, but unfortunately does not afford frequent exposures 

 of the rocks. The road crossing the river south of schoolhouse No. 4 and 

 section C, continues almost due south for over one mile until it reaches the 

 east and west road on top of the divide. There are but few exposures along 

 the steep road, most of the rocks being concealed by drift. At 305 feet above 

 the river are rather thin sandstones, and loose pieces from apparently near 

 this horizon contain some fossils. The species below were obtained from 

 the loose blocks :

The greater part of the hill probably belongs in the Ithaca formation, 

 with a hundred feet or so of the Sherburne formation at its base. 



XX D 2 . On the east and west road of the divide just east of the 

 cornel's in the western part of Morris township are red, thin-bedded sand- 

 stones which alternate with those that are thin, green and coarse-grained. 

 This outcrop is apparently near the base of the Oneonta formation. In the 

 field to t lie north of the highway, some ten feet higher, is a ledge of grey,
