  No 
  indications 
  of 
  coal 
  No. 
  4 
  were 
  noticed, 
  and 
  its 
  place 
  is 
  about 
  

   midway 
  between 
  coals 
  3 
  and 
  5, 
  but 
  witb 
  tbat 
  exception 
  the 
  whole 
  

   series 
  from 
  No. 
  2 
  to 
  15 
  come 
  in 
  in 
  regular 
  order, 
  and 
  are 
  readily 
  

   identified. 
  The 
  product 
  from 
  No. 
  2 
  in 
  this 
  shaft 
  is 
  a 
  clean 
  bright 
  

   coal, 
  apparently 
  nearly 
  free 
  from 
  iron 
  pyrites, 
  and, 
  judging 
  from 
  

   its 
  external 
  appearance, 
  sufficiently 
  free 
  from 
  all 
  deleterious 
  sub- 
  

   stances 
  to 
  be 
  used 
  in 
  its 
  raw 
  state 
  for 
  smelting 
  iron. 
  A 
  block 
  of 
  

   the 
  roof 
  shale 
  of 
  No. 
  5 
  was 
  sent 
  to 
  my 
  office 
  by 
  Mr. 
  Jonte, 
  and 
  I 
  

   found 
  it 
  filled 
  with 
  Discina 
  nitida, 
  Lingula 
  mytiloides 
  and 
  Cardinia? 
  

   fragilis, 
  which 
  characterize 
  this 
  coal 
  in 
  all 
  the 
  shafts 
  in 
  this 
  and 
  

   the 
  adjoining 
  counties, 
  and 
  fix 
  the 
  horizon 
  of 
  that 
  coal 
  in 
  this 
  shaft 
  

   beyond 
  question.
