. Maryland geological survey . Fig. I.—VIEW SHOWING TALBOT-WICOMICO SCARP, TALBOT surface IN FOREGROUND, ONEMILE EAST OF SANDY BOTTOM, KENT Fig. 2.—VIEW AT THE same LOCALITY AS ABOVE BUT FROM THE WICOMICO SURFACELOOKING DOWN ON THE TALBOT PLAIN. THE TOP OF THE SCARP MAY BE SEEN RUNNINGACROSS THE MIDDLE OF THE ILLUSTRATION. MARYLAND GEOLOGICAL SURVEY 93 Structure and Thickness.—What was said in reference to thestructure of the Lafayette and Sunderland is also applicable to theWicomico formation. Its basal portions are frequently obscured and itwas deposited on an uneven surface. A better idea of its structure can beobtained from comparing its surface elevations than the elevations of itsbasal portions. The surface elevations of ten localities within the Wicomico formationand the average slopes between them are given on Plate XXV. From acomparison of these it will be seen that between Aiken and Washingtonthere is no slope indicated. From Washington to Eidge the surface ofthe Wicomico formation has a difference in altitude of 45 feet through-out a distance of 63 miles, making an average slope of of a foot permile. On
