REPORT. 



To His Excellency, 



GOVERNOR THOMAS G. JONES : 



SIR : I transmit herewith a Report upon the Coal Meas- 

 ures of the Blount Mountain Region, by A. M. Gibson, 

 Assistant Geologist, who has devoted the greater part of the 

 past two years to the examination of this region. 



This report directs attention to a hitherto little known 

 and less appreciated section of our State, and will, I feel 

 sure, contribute materially to its future development. 

 I have the honor to be, Sir, 



Your obedient servant, 



EUGENE A. SMITH, 



State Geologist. 

 UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA,
