pected to prove continuous. It seems to lie some 160 feet above the 
Waverly. The highest hill in the county, so far seen, lies in Hopewell, 
a mile or more south of this mine, and its summit is 135 feet above 
the coal. The upper 30 feet or more is composed of the flinty lime- 
stone which caps the ridge. This limestone contains many impressions 
of foramifera (Fusulina cylindrica), and but few fossils, among which 
are Chonetes mesoloba, Productus longispinus, Pernopecten n. sp. , 
Euomphalus sp. , Productus muricatus, P. nebrascensis, and bryozoans. 
This hill is 250 feet above the National Road, directly south. This 
road is mended with the carboniferous shale of the horizon of the Flint 
Ridge coal. Near Brownsville the sub-carboniferous limestone is said 
to appear, but we have not been able to find it, and it seems impossi- 
ble that so low a horizon could be reached. 
It remains to take a hasty view of the region about Clay Lick 
Station, in Hanover township. Here in the middle of Hanover is a 
great development of the conglomeratic phase of the Waverly. One 
half mile east of Clay Lick there is a nearly continuous exposure of 
about 100 feet of alternating conglomerate and coarse sandstone of 
prevailingly red color. West of Clay Lick there is a considerable, dip 
to the west or southwest. The dip is about seven feet to the hundred. 
At a distance of a mile south or northwest the exposure gives a dip of 
about 3.6 feet in the-hundred to the northwest. These may be simply 
local flextures. It is altogether probable that a spit or bar extended 
into the sea northeast of Clay Lick and there great quantities of sand 
and gravel were accumulated, while the clayey deposits to the south 
and west were longer under the sea and sank somewhat under the 
weight of the massive deposits south of them. In the creek bed at 
the last mentioned exposure, a mile south of Clay Lick, is nearly a 
hundred feet of continuously exposed Waverly, showing none of the 
conglomeratic character found east of Clay Lick. 
In-order to define as nearly as possible the relations between the 
formations in Licking and adjoining counties, a histy excursion was 
made into Muskingum county, with the results compendiously exhib- 
ited in the sections of Fig. 2. The baroinetic readings were interfered 
with by atmospheric changes in passing from Mt. Perry to Brownsville, 
so that the connection is not complete, but it is believed that the rela- 
tions are relatively correct. Near Newton is a good exposure of over 
200 feet, which is shown at No. I. The Maxville limestone is near 
the water and continues near the surface of the stream nearly to Mt.
