As the beds are not shown in one connected section, it is some- 
what difficult to place them in direct sequence. The district is 
more or less faulted, and detailed mapping on the 6-inch scale is 
needed for the interpretation of the structure. The sequence 
here noted corresponds with that of which we have evidence 
further east. 
Near the "Rising Sun" there are several quarries, one 
known as the Pavingstone quarry, another as the Rolling Bank 
quarry from an undulation in the strata, and a third as the Free- 
stone quarry. In the Rolling Bank quapry] beds Nos. 9 to 13 
have been exposed, and the measurements lof these strata are 
given on the authority of Mr. S. S. Buckman.
