THE UPPER PITTSBURGH LIMESTONE. 



The Upper Pittsburgh Limestone of White 3 seems al- 

 most entirely lacking in Lewis and Gilmer. In the hill just 

 west of the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad shops at Weston a 

 gray limestone, one foot thick, was observed 65 feet below 

 the Redstone Coal that seems to represent it. as shown by 

 the Weston Section in Chapter IV. 



THE LITTLE PITTSBURGH COAL. 



The Little Pittsburgh Coal of White 4 is frequently pres- 

 ent in the measures in Lewis and Gilmer. It is seldom more 

 than one foot thick and often entirely absent, being useful 

 for stratigraphic purposes only. It is usually found about 

 50 feet below the Pittsburgh Coal. The following section, 

 measured just south of the electric light plant at Weston, 

 shows its position :
