The measurements of the lower coal were made at the bank of Stephen 

 Evans, where the coal is mined by a drift-way. This is a good locality 

 for finely preserved coal plants. There is by the road-side, as we de- 

 scend from the high ground into the valley, a heavy sandrock, twenty 

 feet thick (not given in the foregoing section), the place of which is 

 twenty or twenty-five feet above the blossom of coal marked No. 8 in 

 the section. The thin coal, No. 6, may be directly under the sandstone, 

 although not seen at this point. 



Oa the land of Robert Pope the same seam of coal as that mined by 

 Mr. Evans is seen, with the following subdivisions :

The geological section, including this coal, is seen on Map XIII., No. 4. 

 In the bed of Sunfish, a little above the water, we find on the land of 

 Henry Windland a fine stratum of cement limestone. It is about sev- 

 enty-live feet below the Evans seam of coal. The geological section at 

 this point is as follows :
