Text Appearing Before Image:
commencing between Kreutznach and Alzeyon the S. side of the Hundsruck, and extending to the N.E. orE.N.E along the S. flank of the Taunus beyond Frankfort andHanau into the Wetterau, a distance of from 60-70 English miles.Its western limit rests against the Carboniferous formation of theDonnersberg, and the numerous porphyritic outbursts which charac-terize that country; while its northern beds repose against the talc-slates and sericit-slates of the Taunus. To the S. and E., the forma-tion gradually disappears, partly in consequence of the gentle dip ofthe beds in that direction, and partly owing to the abrading actionof the waters of the Rhine, which now wash its low escarpments orcliffs. To the S., the tertiary formation extends beyond Neustadtto Landau, gradually thinning out, and in a few places only leavinginsulated patches adhering to the flanks of the Haardt mountains,and forming steep cliffs or escarpments to the eastward, which willbe more distinctly pointed out hereafter.
