By following up the channel of Dry Brook the relation of the Holyoke trap and sandstone and that of the lesser outflow may be clearly traced. New Yoke Prof. J. F. Kemp, assisted by Messrs. Arthur Hollick and G. Van Ingen, Columbia University. The following geological formations are exposed in or near New York: Quaternary.--Recent sands and silts, Champlain brick clays. Glacial drift in the terminal moraine and ground moraines. Cretaceous.--Green sands and marls at Atlantic Highlands, N. J. Fire clays on Staten Island and at Perth Amboy, N. J. Jura-Trias.--Red shales and sandstone with intruded diabase and contact zones, New Jersey. Ordovician (Lower Silurian of Text-book).--Mica schist with subordinate hornblende schist, forming the Manhattan schist, and probably equivalent to the shales of the upper Ordovician, elsewhere. Crystalline dolomite, called the Inwood limestone, probably equivalent to the Trenton Calciferous. Cambrian.--Lowerre quartzite, exposed at Lowerre (Low-er-ry), near Yonkers. Algonkian (?).--Fordham gneiss, along Seventh Avenue north of One Hundred and Thirty-ninth Street and to the north. Igneous rocks, of uncertain age, Pegmatites, post-Ordovician, cut the Manhattan schists and Inwood limestone. Aplites are rarer but are known. Serpentine, derived from peridotite and pyroxenite, through an intermediate stage of hornblende schist, forms Castle Point, Hoboken, and a For full details of these formations see F. J. H. Merrill, Report of the New York State Museum for 1896, p. 81. large part of Staten Island. Granite sheared into gneiss appears east of Yonkers, and quartzdiorite west of Harrison and Mamaroneek.
