Location Four easily accessible localities in Manhattan and the Bronx (Fig. 1), have been chosen to illustrate the metamorphic geologyof New York City. Streets surrounding the localities are shown in Figure 2. All outcrops are in public parks or in roadcuts that maybe reached by car, bus, or subway.

Location The site is situated in West Torrington, Connecticut, and consists of two stops in the West Torrington 7½-minute Quadrangle (Fig. 1). They can be reached from Exit 44 of Connecticut 8 by traveling southwestward on Connecticut 202 (East Main Street). To reach Stop 1, travel westward from the center of Torrington on Connecticut 202 to Water Street, then make a leftonto Church Street, which ultimately leads to Highland Avenue (Fig. 1), and park 2,000 ft (600 m) west of the intersection with Allen Street near Patterson Pond. Stop 2 is located on Highland Avenue 1.2 mi (1.9 km) west of Stop 1. Some outcrops in this siteare roadcuts or outcrops in stream beds and no special permissionis required. Others, however, are on private property and permissionmust be sought from landowners.
