(FalVs creek) conglomerate" of Sherwood. An accident 

 prevented further progress. 



Owing to the scarcity of exposures further west, it will 

 be very difficult to follow the Cascade sandstone from Fall's 

 creek towards Lake Erie ; but the evidence for its parallel- 

 ism or identity with the Panama conglomerate, {3d oil sand 

 of Venango,) which I adduce in my report, is so strong that 

 this identity seems to me fully established. The important 

 conclusions flowing from this identification are fully stated 

 in the Summary, or first part of my Report. 



The Survey is under special obligations for various acts 

 of kindness in connection with my work in the two coun- 

 ties, to the Hon. C. C. Jadwin, Prof. Jno. W. Dolph, and 

 Wm. Muir of Honesdale ; Mr. Richardson of Great Bend 

 and Mr. Jno. S. Hines of Scranton. For season passes and 

 other favors the Survey is indebted to Mr. C. F. Young of 

 the D. & H. C. Co., Mr. E. S. Bowen of the Erie RR., Mr. 

 Samuel Sloan of the D., L. & W. RR., Mr. Chas. Latimer 

 of the N. Y., Pa. & Ohio RR., and Mr. Jno. B. Smith of 

 the Penna. Coal Co.'s RR. 



Very respectfully, 



Your obedient servant,
