In the southern end of Collins Settlement District, the 

 southeastward rise of the rocks brings both the Allegheny and 

 Pottsville Series to the surface. In the following section the 

 surface portion was measured with hand level along the steep 

 hillside east of Glady Creek, about one mile north of Bablin. 

 The lower portion is the record of the A. K. Wilson No. 2 oil 

 well (597), drilled by Wilson and Butcher near the Little Ka- 

 nawha River, one mile east of Bablin. Between the bottom 

 of the measured section and the top of the oil well there is an 

 interval of about 200 feet of Pottsville sediments on which 

 observations were not obtained. At other points this interval 

 showed gray sandstones and sandy shales separated by hori- 

 zons of black slate and one or two thin coal seams : 



Bablin Section, Collins Settlement District.
