  Map 
  

  

  The 
  accompanying 
  map 
  shows 
  the 
  present 
  extent 
  of 
  the 
  oil- 
  

   pools 
  of 
  Cattaraugus 
  co. 
  in 
  which 
  the 
  product 
  has 
  been 
  found 
  in 
  

   commercial 
  quantities. 
  In 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  the 
  Chipmunk 
  pool 
  the 
  

   same 
  oil-producing 
  sands 
  will 
  undoubtedly 
  be 
  found, 
  in 
  the 
  

   future, 
  to 
  extend 
  much 
  beyond 
  the 
  southern 
  and 
  eastern 
  limits 
  

   laid 
  down 
  upon 
  the 
  map, 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  found 
  to 
  include 
  a 
  part, 
  at 
  

   least, 
  of 
  the 
  Eice 
  Brook 
  field. 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  my 
  purpose 
  however 
  

   to 
  avoid 
  speculation 
  and 
  to 
  include 
  only 
  such 
  facts 
  as 
  are 
  known 
  

   to 
  date. 
  

  

  I 
  wish 
  to 
  acknowledge 
  my 
  indebtedness 
  to 
  Mr 
  John 
  Greenwood 
  

   of 
  Limestone, 
  N. 
  Y., 
  whose 
  intimate 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  oil 
  in- 
  

   dustry 
  and 
  of 
  oil 
  territory 
  has 
  been 
  freely 
  placed 
  at 
  my 
  disposal 
  

   while 
  constructing 
  the 
  accompanying 
  map. 
  

  

  Eespectfully 
  submitted
