Another geological section was obtained on the same run, in the same 

 section, showing the lower coal, as below :

1. Sandy shale 12 



2. Limestone, partly cement stone 7 o 



3. Shale 2 



4. Coal, lower Salem, or Pomeroy seam 2 10 



5. Not seen XI 



6. Limestone (not measured). 



The coal is opened at several points on Wingett's Run. The dip is 

 probably from thirty to forty feet per mile to the south, but the exact 

 direction of the greatest dip was not ascertained. Prom all the measure- 

 ments of the upper, or Cumberland, seam of coal on Wingett's Run, it 

 appears to be thinner and of less importance than in the townships to 

 the west. 



At Bloomfield, in section 21, the following geological section shows the 

 lower Salem, or Pomeroy seam : 



Ft. In. 



1. Sandrock 20 



2. Shale 3 



3. Limestone, some of it cement stone 8

Here the lower coal is thinner than on Wingett's Run. 



GEANDVIEW TOWNSHIP. 



This township lies upon the Ohio River, above Independence, and ex- 

 tends to the Monroe county line. The drainage is chiefly into the Ohio 

 Eiver by small tributaries, although a small area on the western and 

 north-western part is drained by branches of the Little Muskingum. It 

 has a long stretch of frontage on the Ohio River, and, consequently, con- 

 tains much fertile land. Back from the river the land is quite hilly.
