Locality  No.  10:  Near  the  center  of  sec.  13,  T.  35  N.,  K.  7  W.,  a

identity  of  this  bed  could  not  be  determined.  The  following  section 
was  measured  in  this  pit:

In  the  upper  bed  of  the  above  section  the  coal  is  apparently  of  low 
grade;  the  thin  partings  are  too  numerous  and  irregular  to  permit  a 
detailed  section.     The  lower  bed,  however,  is  made  up  of  clear  coal.
