large excavation shows a dip of nearly 3°, 35° east of north; but the 
joint gives a greater dip west of north. 
No. 1487 C4. — Formerly Lewis and Goodwin, now Lockwood quarry. 
Tins quarry is a few rods south of the railroad, If miles west of West 
Hurley, or 1^ miles east of Olive Branch. The sandstone is the blue- 
stone, with very few fossils.- The bottom of the quarry is a little lower 
than the railroad track at this point. 
No. 1487 CL— OLIVE BRANCH. 
There is a small quarry north of the railroad station, on the right- 
hand road just beyond the church, which is composed mostly of thin- 
bedded blue sandstone, with a few shaly partings which contain clay 
pebbles and specimens of Psilophyton ; also large plant stems and frag- 
ments of fossil wood. This quarry is 18 or 20 feet above the railroad 
station, which has an altitude of 511 feet. A little farther east by the 
sawmill and fork in the road is a larger quarry of the bine sandstone 
(No. 1487 02). Nothing but plant stems and fragments of fossil wood 
were found in this quarry. One-fourth mile farther east is an outcrop 
of red shale by the roadside (No. 1487 03). 
No. 1488 B3.~ OLIVE CITY (POST-OFFICE, OLIVE BRIDGE). 
Along Esopus Creek below the bridge are several quarries that have 
been worked to some extent in a bluish flagging stone, which in places 
lias a slightly grayish tint. The quarry stone is capped by an olive 
shale. A fragment of a Lepidodendron and plant stems were observed 
in the most southern of these quarries, but with this exception very 
few fossils were found. In the creek below the quarries are slabs of 
bine sandstone with beautiful ripple marks, while above the falls and 
bridge, mottled red and green shales occur. These quarries are near 
the top of the series of "bluestone" and 30 or 40 feet lower than the 
railroad station at Broclhead's bridge, which is 500 feet A. T. 
Bessemer' s quarry, near the foot of High Point Mountain (1488 B5), 
is 2£ miles from Olive City. The stone is a massive, bluish-gray, rather 
coarse-grained sandstone, which weathers partly to a reddish tint and 
partly to a darker gray. Clay pebbles occur in some of the layers, and 
a few fragments of plants were seen. On the road leading up the foot 
of the mountain to the quarry are reddish shales, and near the base of 
the mountain, blocks of stone with cross bedding, very similar to the 
stone farther up the railroad near West Shokan. 
No. 1488 B2— BRODHEAD'S BRIDGE. 
Iii the bed of Esopus Creek just below the railroad bridge is bluish- 
gray massive sandstone, below which is first, a mottled chocolate and 
olive argillaceous shale, then a clear olive argillaceous shale, and at the 
bottom a gray sandstone like the upper sandstone.
