gives the total Medina as 1365 feet divided
into Oneida and Medina, and the whole into
4 groups of conglomerate and sandstone and three of
shales.
In the first place there is absolutely no ground
to separate the series into Oneida and Medina.
Further I saw no ground for assuming that the
shale group separate the series into four separate
sandstones. Further if one adjust the correct groups
as shales then their thickness do not agree with
mine. All in all it is one series of alike ma-
terial as far as the exposures show.
The series begins with white coarse quartzites
for about 40 feet. Then the regular Shawangunk
rein quartz grits appear and continue to the
waytop. Then too the new feature due is that
all of the conglomerate beds also have black shale
inclusions, some are rounded but as a rule they

very common and shellings and are seen from
