  Prof. 
  James 
  Hall, 
  State 
  Geologist 
  : 
  

  

  Sir. 
  — 
  I 
  herewith 
  send 
  diagrams 
  and 
  sections 
  made 
  along 
  the 
  

   valley 
  of 
  Tuna 
  creek, 
  Eed 
  House 
  creek 
  and 
  Quaker 
  run 
  and 
  

   their 
  tributaries, 
  including 
  also 
  data 
  in 
  hand 
  north 
  of 
  Salamanca 
  

   to 
  Kock 
  City. 
  I 
  have 
  placed 
  .upon 
  the 
  diagram 
  the 
  section 
  of 
  

   the 
  Dennis 
  oil 
  well 
  at 
  Bradford, 
  which 
  was 
  very 
  carefully 
  meas- 
  

   ured 
  while 
  drilling, 
  by 
  Mr. 
  C 
  aril's 
  assistant. 
  It 
  shows 
  the 
  Pope 
  

   Hollow 
  rock 
  at 
  1840 
  feet 
  and 
  twenty- 
  three 
  feet 
  thick. 
  

  

  Panama 
  Conglomerate. 
  

  

  The 
  Panama 
  rock 
  is 
  not 
  indicated 
  by 
  a 
  conglomerate 
  or 
  coarse 
  

   sandstone; 
  I 
  did 
  not 
  find 
  it 
  in 
  the 
  Tuna 
  valley 
  nearer 
  than 
  

   Bailett's 
  brook 
  (section 
  G), 
  six 
  and 
  one-half 
  miles 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  

   oil 
  well, 
  but 
  from 
  this 
  north 
  and 
  west 
  on 
  Tuna 
  creek, 
  Eed 
  

   House 
  creek 
  and 
  Quaker 
  run 
  it 
  is 
  present. 
  From 
  this 
  I 
  infer 
  

   that 
  it 
  thins 
  out 
  and 
  is 
  replaced 
  by 
  finer 
  material 
  going 
  south, 
  

   as 
  it 
  is 
  in 
  Warren 
  county, 
  Pennsylvania, 
  and 
  Chautauqua 
  county, 
  

   New 
  York, 
  but 
  not 
  extending 
  as 
  far 
  south 
  at 
  the 
  east 
  as 
  in 
  

   Warren 
  county, 
  Pennsylvania. 
  It 
  is 
  only 
  five 
  feet 
  thick 
  at 
  

   90
