The directions and courses were taken accurately, the distances

The three angles marked a ‘libata he position of the western 
eb of the rocks. On Nettle Run, the dip is 21°, at the other 
points, somewhat less. At the points marked ¢ are ledges of 
rock, se en in the bed of the river at low water, produced by the 
harder of the inclined strata. a 
At b the angle indicates the dip of the strata to the east, ‘The 
rocks are there inclined at an angle of 11°. At d another ledge 
of rocks is seen in the bed of the river made by hard strata in 
their eastern dip. The central line or axis, between the two 
slopes, runs nearly north and south, and along this line the 
productive wells are found. Thus far, the oil is obtained only
