STRATIGRAPHICAL ORDER. 23 
Lower Freeport limestone has the same characteristics as the upper, 
and both are found in this portion of the State. 
Westward and southward from these counties, the Freeport lime- 
stone, though everywhere present, and agreeing in all respects with the 
exposures in Eastern Ohio and Pennsylvania, has lost its proper name, 
and has received several local designations. It is one of the buff lime- 
stones so frequently referred to in Newberry’s reports on Stark and 
Tuscarawas counties in connection with the black-band horizon. It is 
the buff limestone under the Cambridge and Alexander coals of 
Andrews’s reports on Muskingum and Perry counties, and in the report 
on the Hanging Rock district, it figures as the Shawnee limestone. 
(Geol. of Ohio, vols. II and III.) 
All of the elements associated with the limestone occur in Ohio in 
exactly the same order as in Pennsylvania, and can be followed with 
unmistakable distinctness entirely across the field.
