 further into the hill. A fossiliferous stratum is exposed similar in all 

 respects to one found in the quarries at Ashland, and in Granville, Lick-

There are many outcrops of the Waverly in the central and western 

 parts of the county, where the rock is thin and worthless, and nowhere 

 have I found any good quarry rock in the formation within the limits of 

 the county. The stone used at Wooster is obtained from the Coal Meas- 

 ure sandstone at the East.
