132 J. J. STEVENSON CARBONIFEROUS OF APPALACHIAN BASIN 



Waynesburg A is 53; Washington, 117, and JoUeytown 303 feet above 

 the Wa3Tiesbiirg coal bed, the Jollytown being 183 feet above the Wash- 

 ington. There are no exposures above this highest coal bed. If the 

 highest limestone in Doctor White's Monndsville section be the Upper 

 Washington — and the decreasing intervals at Cameron and in Meade 

 seem to leave no room for doubt respecting the correlation — Number 

 1 of Professor Brown's section must be the JoUjrtown coal bed. 



Mr Newton's section at Wegee, 3 miles south from the Moundsville 

 section, reaches to a limestone at 18 feet above the Washington coal; 

 the interval, Washington to Waynesburg, is 117 feet; the place of Waynes- 

 burg A is concealed, but there is a limestone, 39 feet above the Waynes- 

 burg, answering to number 9 of the Bellair section. Doctor White ob- 

 tained a measurement below this, in the river hills, and found the Wash- 

 ington and Waynesburg 120 feet apart, with the interval almost wholly 

 concealed. Few of the sections away from the river go above the Waynes- 

 burg, but one in Washington township, 8 or 9 miles back, shows the 

 Waynesburg A at 46 feet above the Waynesburg, while at Barnesville, 

 on the west side of the county, the interval is 42 feet and the thin 

 limestone is 4 feet below the coal. Midway between Bellair and Barnes- 

 ville the interval is 53 feet, as at Bellair, filled mostly with shale, red 

 in the bottom, 2 feet 6 inches. The place of the Washington is seldom 

 exposed, but the blossom was seen occasionally at 100 feet above the 

 Waynesburg.* 



Information respecting Muskingum, Noble, and Morgan counties along 

 the western outcrop is scanty. The Dunkard is wholly without economic 

 interest and few of the measured sections extend above the Uniontown 

 coal bed. In southeast Muskingum a limestone, 2 feet thick, is 101 

 feet above the Uniontown and thick red beds at 10 feet higher, but 

 no coal is shown. The Waynesburg A is mentioned at two places in 

 Morgan county and has been opened at one where it is double, the 

 benches, 16 and 24 inches, separated by 8 inches of shale. It is about 

 100 feet above the Uniontown. The Wa}'nesburg sandstone is certainly 

 here being the second conglomerate of Professor Andrews. No sections 

 by Andrews in Noble county go above the Uniontown, but he notes the 

 occurrence of Waynesburg A in the southeast comer. Professor Brown 

 speaks of a few coal blossoms, one in Marion at 113 feet above the
