"The bark lies immediately beneath the epidermis. It consists of several layers. In the early state it is cellular, and is exactly like the pith with which it is in contact; but by the production of vessels and woody fiber, they are separated and become very different in appearance and constitution. The bark consists of two portions, the cellular and vascular, the latter of which is called liber, and the inner portion of the bark."—Darby, 1855

"Map and section of trap ridges near Woodbury. The topography is indicated by sketched contours, with hachures for trap bluffs. The lower sandstone slopes are all covered, and the northern bluff of the western group of ridges is quite buried in drift. The crystalline rocks appear on the east. The section suggests an interpretation of the surface forms." -Walcott, 1901
