In the following section, arranged in descending order, 

 the surface portion was measured with hand level, from the 

 mouth of Shreve Run, at Burnsville, Braxton County, south- 

 ward to the top of a high hill. The Orlando Limestone, with 

 a few fossil shells, perhaps of brackish water origin, crops 

 a few feet above the Little Kanawha River and is included 

 in the section. The lower portion of the section is from the 

 record of the Marshall No. 1 well (not listed on Map II), 

 drilled by Guffey and Galey in July, 1895, along Saltlick 

 Creek, opposite the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Station at 

 Burnsville and previously published by the Survey 5 . Owing 

 to the northwestward dip of the rocks, the well starts at a 

 higher stratigraphic level than the bottom of the measured 

 section, so that, in the section below, an interval of 31 feet is 

 omitted from the top of the record :
