THE CARBONIFEROUS SYSTEM. 97 
Vista flagging, is largely used and highly esteemed in the eastern cities. 
Here, as in the northern part of the State, the sandstone overlying the 
Cleveland shale is impregnated with petroleum derived from that car- 
bonaceous mass. The collection of fossil fishes made from the Cleveland 
shale at Fairview, Kentucky, by Capt. James Patterson, has been 
already alluded to; further north, in Fairfield, Hocking county, the 
upper Waverly is composed of layers of fine-grained, buff sandstone, to 
which Prof. Andrews has given the name of Logan sandstone. Below 
this is a great mass of coarse sandstones and conglomerates, with alter- 
nations of finer material. In some places nearly the entire formation is | 
coarse, and the beds of conglomerate rival in their massive character 
the true Conglomerate. These Waverly conglomerates are traceable 
north through Licking and into Knox county. Near Newark the cliffs 
at the narrows of the Black Hand are composed of Waverly conglom- 
erate. In the valley of the Mohican, in Knox county, conglomerate 
beds are seen 220 feet below the top of the Waverly formation. The 
associated strata here are mainly blue, sandy shales, which weather yel- 
low and ochery. This is'the prevailing complexion of the Waverly 
group in the central part of the State. The Waverly conglomerate also 
appears at various points in Morrow and Richland counties—at Mt. Gil- 
ead, Richland Station, etc.—but it has not been recognized further north- 
ward. In passing from the south northward the red shale (Bedford 
shale), which is such a marked element in the Waverly of the counties 
bordering on the Lake, is first seen at Harlem, on Walnut creek, in Del- 
aware county. The section at this point is as follows:

most characteristic mollusks and radiates, of the Waverly. A more com-
