to the assumed place of the Waynesburg coal bed. The portion below 

 the Upper Washington limestone is taken from the record of an oil 

 boring. Here one is at the extreme southeast corner of the county. 



The Mneveh coal bed is, in round numbers, 230 feet above the Dunk- 

 Erd; at Board Tree, 3 miles southeast, this interval is 203, and in Gil- 

 more township of Greene only 172 feet. The Jollytown limestone is 

 348 feet above the Washington coal bed, the loss as compared with central 

 and eastern Greene being due to disappearance of most of the rocks 

 between the Jollytown and Upper Washington. The interval, Washing- 

 ton to Waynesburg, has increased from 105 at Moundsville to 150 feet 

 at Board Tree. All of the coals have become insignificant; the Boyd 

 horizon still carries some coal, but the Jollytown as well as Washington 

 A, Waynesburg A and B is either absent or so thin as to be overlooked 

 by the drillers. The higher limestones have become insignificant and 

 those between the Upper Washington and the Washington coal bed 

 have disappeared. 



Doctor White has preserved many records of oil borings in the south- 

 em part of Marshall county. At Cameron, 5 miles northwest from 

 Bellton, the Waynesburg coal bed is 336 to 345 feet above the Pitts- 

 burg; a coal bed, 60 to 70 feet higher, is at the place of Waynesburg A, 

 and a third, at 321 feet above the Waynesburg, seems to be at the place
