The interval from the Upper Clarion coal to the Upper Freeport 
limestone in this section is 159’. In the section previously given, the 
same interval is 162’. 
The Lower Freeport coal becomes a valuable seam for a small area 
below New Lisbon, where it is known as the Whan coal. It here 
reaches a thickness of 4 to 5 feet. From this point to the Ohio river 
it is found in all of the hills, generally as a bituminous coal of 2’ or 
less in thickness, but often as a mass of bituminous shales, 6 or 8’ in 
thickness. Newberry notes this fact, and he also remarks upon the 
great steadiness of the white limestone and its overlying coal (Upper 
Freeport) between New Lisbon and the Ohio river. (Geol. of Ohio, 
vol. III, p. 110. 
The intervals between several of the elements expand rather rapid- 
ly to the eastward, and the whole section has gained from 50 to 75 feet 
before the valley of Little Beaver is reached. Along the sides of this 
deep furrow, frequent exposures of all the leading elements are found. 
The true interpretation of the long sections furnished here, aside 
from the recognition of the Freeport Group, which seems never to have 
been misunderstood, was first given by White, in his report on the Ohio 
line (Q 2, p. 263, et al.) By a series of closely connected sections he 
followed both the Freeport and the Kittanning groups, the latter in- 
cluding also the Ferriferous limestone, from their typical and full devel- 
opment in Pennsylvania to the mouth of the Little Beaver, and thence 
up this valley for miles of fairly consecutive outcrop. A few of his 
sections will be repeated here to show the uniformity and reliable char- 
acter of the leading strata.
