BROADHEAD — COAL MEASURES IN MISSOURI 333 



ances, but these are mostly local and extend only a short 

 distance. At but few places has any remarkable dip been 

 observed. In DeKalb County, on Grindstone Creek, in 

 south part of T. 58, E. 30 W., there is a remarkable evidence 

 of disturbance of strata extending over a space of half a 

 mile diameter, and sometimes dipping 45°. In Caldwell 

 County, in south part T. 57, E. 26, is another evidence of 

 disturbance. On Grand Eiver, below Compton's Ferry, Mr. 

 Ulffers observed a very remarkable inclination of strata. 

 Near Huntsville is a protrusion of lower carboniferous rocks 

 through rocks of coal series. A line will pass very nearly 

 direct through these several points, and terminate in Lin- 

 coln County, near other and more remarkable dips and 

 faults among the older rocks. 



Dip. — The prevailing dip of the series is to the N.W. 

 Sometimes it may be west for many miles, again it may be 

 north for some distance. In Clay County it is a little north 

 of west, dipping about 190' and quite regularly ; in Bucha- 

 nan and Platte, nearly N.W.; in Holt, Andrew, and Living- 

 ston, regularly N.W., and in Holt more W. than 1ST.
