The gray limestone overlj-ing Coal No. 4 comes to the surface at only 

 one point within the county. It was seen in the banks of Sandy Creek, 

 just at the Tuscarawas line. It is compact, about two feet thick, and 

 quite fossiliferous. Blocks brought out from the shaft on the Trumbull 

 Company's property showed fine specimens of Productus semi-reticulatus 

 and Spirifer lineatus. 



Coal No. 4, immediately underlying the gray limestone, crops out at no 

 locality within the county. Messrs. Tod, Stambaugh & Co. ine it by 

 means of a shaft on the Trumbull Company's property, Rose iwnship, 

 two miles south-west from Magnolia. The works are in char of Mr. 

 John Young, to whose intelligent observation I am indebted !■. many 

 important and interesting facts which otherwise could not ha\ been 

 obtained. The shaft by which this coal is reached was sunk almost 

 directly on the summit of the anticlinal already referred to, and the ex- 

 hibition in the entry is well worthy of note. The general section, as 

 seen in the mine, is :

The evidences of disturbance are well marked in the entry for one 

 hundred yards from the shaft, after which, the summit of the anticlinal ' 

 having been passed, the south-easterly dip is resumed, and the coal be- 

 comes compact, with a sound roof. At many points along this hundred 

 yards the limestone roof is broken, showing fissures from six to twelve 

 inches wide. Two of these extend well into the sandstone above, where 

 they became enlarged so as to form reservoirs for water, which, in pass-
