Level of Big Caney creek, at highway bridge west of Grenola. 
The thickness of this section agrees closely with the difference in 
altitude obtained from the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad 
levels, which give 400 feet, although the topographic sheets give 
barely 300 feet. No allowance has been made for the dip, which 
will probably increase somewhat the total thickness of the rocks in 
this section, since Prof. Broadhead obtained a dip of twenty-six 
feet per mile to the southwest in the eastern part of Cowley 
county,'! while Adams gave the dip along the line of this section as 
’ 
“about ten feet per mile” to the west,® and as stated later, the 
writer obtained a dip to the southwest of sixteen feet per mile.
