the base into; blue sands, having a total thickness of 8 feet. The great¬ 
est thickness observed, 21J4 feet, is at a point near the middle of the 
bluff, at which place Dali’s section (p. 93) was made. The cross 
bedded sands here rest directly upon the fossiliferous Chipola beds, the 
calcareous sand stratum being as previously stated absent at this point. 
FOLDS IN THE CHATTAHOOCHEE LIMESTONE. 
The sections of the Chattahoochee limestone at Chattahoochee 
Landing, in the vicinity of Chattahoochee and of River Junction, give 
evidence as previously stated (p. 270) of small anticlines and synclines. 
Aspalaga Bluff affords an opportunity of tracing the several strata 
through a distance of about one-half mile. The direction of the ex¬ 
posure here is from north of east to south of west. The section given 
above is made at the north end of the. bluff. The lime-clay stratum 
(No. 2) of that section is very characteristic lithologically and is easily 
traced, forming in fact a bench along which one may walk the entire 
length of the bluff. The top of this stratum at the north end of the 
bluff lies, as indicated in the section, 19feet above the river. At 
tffe middle of the bluff about %. mile down stream the top lies 12 
feet above the water level. Near the landing the top of the stratum is 
again 16^ feet above the water at the same stage. Beyond the land¬ 
ing the top of this stratum as seen along the small stream lies about 
T3 feet above the river. Stratum No. 10, containing numerous fossils 
as casts, the base of which at the north end of the bluff lies 61 feet 
above the river, is found in the section at the middle of the bluff, 55 
feet above the river. The intervening strata are recognizable and 
occupy their respective positions. It is thus seen that a small syncline 
lies near the middle of Aspalaga Bluff. The top of the corresponding 
small anticline is probably reached, at or near the landing, as indicated 
by the level of the clay stratum in the branch beyond or within a dis¬ 
tance of about J4 mile from the bottom of the syncline. The rate of 
dip of the strata is less in this section than in some of the sections near 
Chattahoochee. 
Unmistakable evidence of dislocation of strata is seen at Rock 
Bluff, where a sharp break occurs in the Chattahoochee limestone near 
the middle of the bluff and slightly above low water level. 
DIP OF THE CHATTAHOOCHEE LIMESTONE. 
The rate of dip of the Chattahoochee limestone has been estimated 
by several geologists who have visited the locality. Johnson (1. c. p. 128) 
observed in these formations a “general dip toward the south.” This 
writer notes also a “westerly dip,” as a consequence of which
