oto, one mile above Millville. The stone church near this place is made 
of the layers of No. 8 of the section at Colvin’s lime-kilns. 
Samuel Perry’s lime-kiln is situated about.two miles above Millville, 
and a mile easi of the Scioto. It is one of that series known as the Delha 
kilns. His quarry affords an exposure of ten feet in the Delhi stone. 
The stone is not strictly white, nor even buff, on fracture, but in con- 
trast with the blue beds of the Delaware stone it has been denominated 
white. It is a light gray, with brownish mottlings, caused by bitumi- 
nous matter, weathering buff. The strike of these beds can be traced 
by the topography north from Perry’s quarry, and they are exposed so 
as to induce more or less lime-burning on the land of William Lawrence, 
William P. Jones, V. Dildine, John Powell, and P. Jones, and have a 
gentle dip eenerally to the east or south-east. The quarry of Philip 
Jones is so situated as to include about six feet of the bluish stone seen 
at Colvin’s lime-kilns lying below the Delhi beds. The upper portion 
of his quarry is in the Delhi beds, as follows:

‘* 2. Blue beds, much resembling the Upper Corniterous, but less 
fossiliferous, and more apt to be bituminous. They are hard 
and crystalline, with frequent small deposits of calcite ......... Cin 
The gravel pike from Delhi to Middletown runs on the strike of the 
Lower Corniferous, from a mile north of Delhi to Middletown, indicated 
by a series of gravel knolls and ridges, which have a common direction, 
about north-west. 
Ascending Mill Creek from Bellepoint, the Lower Corniferous is’ fre- 
quently exposed. About half a mile from Bellepoint, on Richard Fry’s 
farm, and on those of Samuel and Homer Cole, nearly a mile further, 
are bluffs of the heavy, even beds of the Lower Corniferous, which have 
been compared to the Onondaga limestone of New York State. At Cole’s 
the section is as follows, in descending order: 
SECTION ON Mint CREEK. 
No. 1. Very fossiliferous, bituminous beds, 2 to 4 inches, with 
Stromatopora, Coenostroma, Chetetes, Favosites, etc., seen.. 4 ft. 6 in.
