DUNKARD FORMATION 127 



The Jollytown coal bed is 25 feet below the Franklin limestone and 110 

 feet above the sandy Middle Washington. The Washington A coal 

 bed, 4 feet 3 inches of coal and shale is 85 feet lower and 73 feet above 

 the Washington coal. The Upper Washington limestone is not exposed 

 in this township except on the Gilmore border, but the Ten-mile lime- 

 stone was seen in the northern portion and the Mneveh limestone is on 

 the ridge at the line of Center township. Exposures are very bad in the 

 greater part of this township.* 



Ascending Dnnkard creek, one finds the lower rocks passing under, 

 so that at the line of Gilmore township the lowest rocks visible are only 

 56 feet below the Jollytown coal bed. There one has Doctor White's 

 measurement : 



Feet 



1. Shale 20 



2. Franklin limestone 2 



3. Shale 24 



4. Jollytown coal bed 1 



5. Shale, sandstone, fully exposed 56 



with 2 feet of red shale at 30 feet below the Jollytown coal bed. This 

 layer was not seen in Wayne township. The Jollytown coal bed, though 

 very thin, yields good coal and is stripped at many places. It is in the 

 road at Jollytown, on the east side of Gilmore. Some difficulty was 

 encountered in making the section above the Franklin limestone, but 

 the line in Gilmore and Springhill was revised very carefully by Steven- 

 son and White, and Doctor White's measurements appeared to be very 

 close to the truth. Since that time they have been confirmed by records 

 of well borings in Marshall county of West Virginia just beyond the 

 west line of Springhill township. Doctor White's section, not published 

 in full in volume K, extends from a high knob in the middle of the town- 

 ship to Jollytown. As recorded in the note book, the lower portion is :
