Likewise the folded region on the east side of the Hudson and in Orange county contains in- liers whose principal cause is faulting, but all of these are also more or less involved in folding-.

Fig. 26 Diagram of faulted and tilted blocks in eastern Fulton'county, N. Y. (after Darton). Looking north; showing relations of inliers of text figure 25 to faults Where a block has remained standing between two faults inclin- ing away from each other, a horst is produced. This group of inliers has typically the form of a parallelogram or of a rectangle, the greater portion of the Precambric inlier at Little Falls, that to the east of the town, partakes of the nature of a horst by being included between two parallel faults of opposite throw,, as shown by Gushing (see text fig. 27, 28). As a horst of the first order in this State, we have probably to consider the large inlier of gneisses and associated rocks of the Highlands, since Berkey1 has shown that this block is bounded by two parallel faults between Cornwall and Peekskill. It is stated by Berkey (he. eit. p. 374) that the northern fault con- sists rather of a succession of them, " each separate fault line strik- ing out toward the northeast into the bounding slates and its place 1 Berkey, C.
