The general resultant is the very zigzag trace for the formation bound- aries, as shown on the accompanying map, figure 2.^ No such zigzags are sho^\ai on the geologic maps of the State, as may be seen at once on comparison with the last State map of 1001. Their. Figure 1.âMap showing Location of Canton Quadrangle and Belts of Formalions adjacent thereto (after Logan and Merrill) recognition has become possible through the refinement of the strati- graphic units in this region inaugurated by Gushing and Ulrich. In place of the old divisions, "Potsdam" and "Calciferous," we must nuw recognize the following formations in descending order: * See Gushing, op. cit., p. 113. " A word of explanation is in place here. The Ogdensburg quadrangle is being pre- pared by Professor Gushing, wliose manuscript map has been liindly transmitted to the writer; but the generalized boundaries drawn in figure 2 had been previously woriced out by the latter in a crude way. Since they form a part of the evidence material to this paper, they are here used with apologies to Professor Cushing, \^â hose map shows the same essential fact of the larger zigzags. A similar explanation and apology is due to Dr. J. G.
