(Read before the American Philosophical Society, May 3d, 1878. 
The order of the Coal Rocks of the section was determined by Mr. C. A. 
Ashburner, by a survey made near Renovo, in 1875. The lower part of 
the section is taken from a record (kept by Mr. Jas. David) of a well 
drilled for. oil near Hyner Station on the P. & E. R. R. The remainder of 
the section is supplied by several intermediate sections of the surface ex- 
posures between Renovo and Hyner. The total thickness of measures 
described amounts to 3460 feet, grouped as follows : 
Lower Productive Coal Measures; Sandstone shale, fire-clays, etc.,

Massive Sandstones, parted by shale, and thin bedded sandstones. 
The sandstones of this group are white to yellowish-gray in 
color, massive, hard, and coarse grained, causing prominent 
topographical features. The whole mass in all of its features
