The following section, which is the result of considerable 

 painstaking labor, was made near Cleveland. First a care- 

 ful hand level measurement was made from Cleveland north- 

 ward up the mountain to the Buffalo Sandstone which caps 

 it. This measurement included the Upper Kittanning and the 

 coal at 450 feet. Afterward, another hand level section was 

 measured, starting at the Upshur-Lewis Line about one mile 

 northwest of Cleveland, and measuring up to the same open- 

 ing in the Upper Kittanning Coal. This section included the 

 Middle Kittanning and Lower Kittanning Coals and the Ka- 

 nawha Black Flint horizon. By compiling the two measure- 

 ments a section 775 feet long is obtained that includes all the 

 important formations found in this locality. A careful search 

 was made on both sides of the river for fossils at the Black 

 Flint horizon by both Dr. Price and the writer, without suc- 

 cess, but its place does not seem subject to much doubt since 

 its interval below the Lower Kittanning Coal is about the 

 same as at Bablin, a few miles away. 



The lower part of the section is the record of the Van- 

 dervort and Pickens No. 1 (606) oil well, drilled by Meade 

 Bros, for the Haddix and Leading Creek Oil and Gas Com- 

 pany, previously published by the Survey 1 . 



Additional evidence in the form of other records secured 

 subsequent to the first publication of this log has caused a 

 change to be made in some of the correlations. The well 

 evidently did not reach the Gordon or Fifth Sands in which
