The outcropping edge of these formations is thin, so that in many places the underlying red sandstone is exposed in the inequalities of the surface, or is easily reached in digging. This, of course, must leave the edge somewhat irregular, and in one place in Middlesex County, north of the Raritan, the red sandstone rises in a considerable hill south of this line, and is entirely surrounded by the white cla3^s of this later formation. The Raritan clav beds, with their intermediate beds of sand, which are the lowest in the series here described, are retained as a ]3art of the Cretaceous series.
