44 PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW YORK DEVONIAN. [bull. 120. 
No. 1477 AG. — Exposures along the high bluff on the east side of the 
Delaware, River, near the point on the highway called the Hawks Nest, 
4 miles above Port Jervis. This locality is farther up the river than 
Saw Mill Rift on the opposite side. There are coarse grayish sandstones, 
with argillaceous blue to olive shale partings. Near the narrowest part 
of the road is a layer of blue argillaceous shale, just above a sandstone 
stratum, that contains Archwopterls sphenophyllifolia Lx., of which 
several good specimens were obtained that agree well with Lesquereux's 
description. 1 Through the kindness of Mr. Lacoe these specimens have 
been compared with the type specimen and figure, one frond of which 
is fully as well preserved as the type specimen 'from Meshoppen, Pa. 
This species has been reported from the lower Catskill of Meshoppen, 
Wyoming County, Pa. Fronds of Hallserites occur, similar to H. Dc- 
chenianus Gbpp, var. lineatus Pn., 2 which is found at Lanesboro, Pa., 
and a few other localities near this geologic horizon. 
The dip along a north and south line is between 10° and 12° to the 
north. 
No. 1477 Bl. — In the Erie Railroad cut, just west of Pond Eddy, is a 
prominent layer of cornstone 4 to 5 feet in thickness, in the midst of 
the Delaware llags, which are massive greenish-gray sandstones. Dip 
along an east and west line varies from 1° to 5° in the different layers. 
No. 1477 B2.— The New Milford red shale, just below Pond Eddy 
station, is not much over 15 feet in thickness. It is exposed for about 
1()0 feet, with an average dip of S°, and 50 feet farther with a dip of 
about 4°, making a thickness of 17 feet for the shale. 
No. 1477 B3. — This station is a quarry, a short distance below Stair- 
way, and opposite the ninety- sixth New York milepost on the Erie 
Railroad. On a smooth bedplane there is a dip of 9° between 25° and 
30° west of north; on the side of the quarry the dip is hardly so great. 
Near the top of the quarry, in an argillaceous, olive, shaly stratum, are 
specimens of Psilophyton princeps Dn., which are not very abundant. 
At Barryville, Sullivan County, N. Y., in a quarry one-half mile up 
Halfway Brook, is a bluish-gray sandstone quarried for flagging. The 
dip is apparently about 40° west of north, while in an old quarry on the 
southside of the brook, nearer the village, the dip is 6° between 30° and 
40° east of north. There are extensive flagstone quarries near Shohola. 
Along the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad, from Sho- 
hola, Pa. (opposite Barryville), to Lackawaxen, the rocks consist of 
greenish-gray sandstone, with partings of olive and red shales. No 
fossils were seen in these rocks, except plant stems, which show no 
fronds. Near the northern end of the first railroad cut, west of the 
one hundred and eleventh New York milepost and Lackawaxen, in 
a mealy shale, were found a few poorly preserved pinnules of Archcv- 
optcris, with numerous fern stems; and in association with these, in the 
greenish argillaceous shales, specimens of Haliserites.
