508 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
The geological features are quite similar to those of Independence town- 
ship, with similar sandstones and shales, and with traces of the upper 
coals. | . 
On the land of C. W. Talbot, section 8, a geological section was taken :

If the coal—No. 7 of the section, of which only the blossom was seen— 
is the Hobson seam, then the upper coal, one hundred and fifty feet 
higher, is the equivalent of one of the seams found in Monroe county. 
There should be another seam between, but the intervening strata were 
not exposed. It may not, however, exist here. If No. 7 is the outcrop 
of the Cumberland seam, then the upper seam is the equivalent of a 
seam found in Jackson and Benton townships, in Monroe county. The 
latter is the more probable grouping. 
JOLLY TOWNSHIP. 
This is a small township, situated directly north of Grandview, and 
adjoins Monroe county. It is hilly and broken. It is drained by small 
streams flowing directly into the Ohio River. The mineral resources of 
this township are quite limited, so far as could be learned. The only 
place where coal was seen was on the land of Eli Eddy, in section 11. 
The following section was taken at this point:

The stratigraphical position of this coal, as given on the map, is per- 
haps not the true one, it being very difficult to decide its true place with- 
out more time than could be devoted to the work. The same seam will 
be found through the region in its proper geological horizon. We vis- 
ited the only exposure that we could hear of.
