DUNKAED FOEMATION 133 



Uniontown, which is apparently at the place of Waynesburg A, the 

 same with that in Brookfield at 55 feet above the Waynesburg coal 

 bed and 2 feet 6 inches thick.* 



Monroe county, east from Noble, is south from Belmont along the 

 Ohio river. Only the lowest part of the Dunkard remains in the west- 

 ern townships, but the section lengthens eastwardly and on the Ohio 

 river line one finds the highest rocks in the state. In Center township 

 Professor Andrews measured

to the Cement limestone above the Upper Sewickley coal bed. This suc- 

 cession is characteristic of the valley of Sunfish creek ; thence to the Ohio 

 river, where, 'at Clarington, Doctor White's section shows the three coal 

 beds 65 and 98 feet apart and the Waynesburg A is 3 feet, so that the 

 Washington is 166 feet above the Uniontown (Clarington) coal bed. 

 Massive sandstone rests on the Waynesburg A and 5 beds of red shale are 

 within 190 feet above the Washington. All are rather thin and the total 

 is 50 feet. Limestone seems to be absent from Doctor White's section, 

 which extends above the place of the Upper Washington. The Jolly- 

 town coal, if present, is concealed. The relations here are very nearly 

 the same as at Bellair, where the Washington is 64 feet above the Waynes- 

 burg A. Professor Andrews traced the Washington and Waynesburg 

 A into the northwest corner of Salem township, where the beds, 70 feet 

 apart, are 2 feet and 3 feet 8 inches thick. The lower bed is double. 



Coal, 2 feet 8 inches ; clay, feet 2 inches ; coal, feet 8 inches. 



At half a mile north, in Switzerland township, the Washington coal bed 

 is 4 feet thick and a crumbling limestone, the Mneveh, 6 feet 2 inches 

 thick, is 368 feet above it by barometer, the dip being neglected. A 

 red bed, 18 feet thick, and a massive sandstone, 48 feet, are at 23 and
