The position of the structure section is indicated by the line AB, the vertical scale of the section being twice exaggerated. The greatest fault is the one on the west, and the country immediately on the east side of it has dropped fully 1500 feet with respect to that on the west (mountain) side. Northville lies between two smaller faults and on an earth block which has dropped several hundred feet with respect to the country on either side. Geology by^W. J. Miller, N. Y. State Mus. Bui. 153.
