This section appears to be characteristic of the bed in the north-eastern 

 portion of the township, as similar sections were obtained at several other 

 banks in the neighborhood. The limestone is nodular, and very hard. 



In Green township the openings are very numerous, and the bed varies 

 much in thickness. At Mr. D. Allison's bank, section 3, which is one of 

 the best, as to management, observed in the county, we find the following 

 section : 



FT. IN. 



1. Coal, bituminous shale (not measured).
