20 pp. 8vo. Cincinnati: 1866.—Dr. Newberry, as early as 1859, in a 
paper on the Rock Oils of Ohio, published in the Obio Agricultural Re- 
port for that year, gave an ee review of the subject of mineral oil, 
including views on its nature and origin. He pointed out the rocks in 
the United States affording it, referring the oil of Ohio to the Waverly 
sandstone as its principal repository, but to the Hamilton shales beneath 
as oprreek its original position, the same rock which he states ¢ affords the 
oil of 
In tbs Re eport whose title is above given he makes ober on the 
geological structure of the Cumberland Oil Region (Kentucky) from 
which we take the following facts. The “oil-belt’ seems to cover an area 
on the line of the great anticlinal axis ahiat runs parallel with the Ap- 
palachians, and separates the eastern and western coal-fields of Kentucky, 
bringing the older Silurian rocks over a large region in Kentucky and 
two hundred feet into the Lower Silurian Blue Limestone formation. 
There are here bituminous shaly strata overlaid by sheets of thin -bedded 
t limestone; and these are covered by 500 feet of shales of the
