the Jolly Cut road and especially back
of a low one story building near the Stmo
Cruster.
As we could continue here see the lower
Catarack beds are marked still further west
or north to the Mountain View House at
the head of another inclined plane. Here
along the steps down the hill may be seen
the lower part of the Lockport resting on
the Medina. At the level of the reservoir
tidal and at the base of the steps are saw
the basal Catarack limestone and one
are said to have a thickness of 70 feet without
seeing the basal sandstone which is 6 feet
thick at Grimsby. At Grimsby we made out
the thickness of the Catarack formation to
be 70 feet.

A very profitable day. The Cataracs
formation is established and lies below the
Medina formation.
