Later walked east along the Penn. R.R. and there I
saw the trace of the Silurian. From the top of the hill I
could also see that it made ripples in the Susquehanna
Riv. The Hudson Rivr cannot be made out here
as the relief is not held and then for the Silurian
is overturned, and faulted (some compensating
faults).

"60 to 70 feet" (Cam. Barry)
Plairangrunt.
At the base is a quartz kettle bed
sand three foot thick. Could not make it out. The
kettles are well rounded and large averaging 2 to 3
inches; some go to 5 inches and many are smaller.
I should say that quite of the bed are kettles.
Smaller kettles 1/8- 3/4 occur in the next 10 feet.
The rest of the series is a coarse quartzite, the whole
is said to be 60 to 70 feet thick. This thickness is
correct as one sees it now but certainly some, probably
not small, is faulted out. Seemingly it does not ex-
ceed 100 feet.
