The quarry WY, 9N50etc. is on the west Aide of Narrow Mountain between the 
knolls marked 1706 and 1559 A.T.It is approched by a fairly well kept 
but narrow road (not shown or: the map) which is a continuation of the 
side road shown. 
Further east on the flattened portion of the hill between these two 
knolls, and thirty feet higher than the preceding, there is another fire- 
stone quarry at 1475 A. T. The quarry is flat from the floor of which the 
men have removed tremendous slabs of the firestone which contains al- 
most entirely only Stropheodonta perplana var. nervosa. This quarry is on 
that portion of the hill nearest the middle knoll, ~

THE CONGLOMERATE. 
Nowhere in the vicinity of Chemung does the conglomerate come up 
to the surface, though many specimens of the rock may be fopnd at almost 
any point below a more or less definite horizon at that point. This hor- 
izon may be approximated by a study of the boulders lying in the fields, 
or along the road , or even in the stone walls. By far the best place to 
s tudy the conglomerate in this way is along the stone wall between the 
lands of Mr. Manning and those of Mr . Baldwin. This wall extends in a north 
,,T est southeast direction down the front of Narrow Mountain ranging from 
1145-1425 A. T. From, the base of the wall up to 1265A. T. there are many spe 
cimens found; but above that level not a single fragment of the conglom- 
erate was observed either in the wall or in the adjoining fields. Judging 
from the relative positions of an outcrop and the boulders therefrom in 
other portions of the Waverly quadrangle, it is safe to assume that the 
conglomerate may be found at this place at 1265A.T. plus or minus 10ft. 
In appearance the rock is an apparently light colored ss. , 
7—8" thick and containing three to five seams of pebbles, though in 
most specimens these seams have run together , and the pebbles seem to 
have lost all appearance of having ever been deposited in seams or in 
layers. The fossils are mostly Amboc elias, though many otner formaare 
also found, chiefly Spirifers, Stropheodontas, urthids , etc. Some bould- 
ers of the conglomerate contained only one or two small pebbles per six 
inches square.
