spring-house attached to the former residence of Mr. Hutchinson we 
found a, cement limestone in which a basin has been excavated for the 
water. The entire thickness of the layer was not seen. Prof. Wormley 
analyzed a sample, and reports the following result of the analysis:

This limestone is worthy of further investigation. It has less alumina 
than Prof. Wormley finds in the Parker cement limestone, but more than 
is found in the reported analyses of some cement limestones in high re- 
pute. Should this limestone prove to make a durable hydraulic cement, 
the vast abundance of coal will furnish all the needed fuel for burning 
at only the cost of mining. Following the railroad eastward, we find a 
good exposure of the lower, or Bellair, coal +t the railroad company’s 
quarry, in section 36. A geological section at this point is as follows:

The stone from the quarry is used in the stone-work of the magnifi- 
cent iron bridge across the Ohio River at Bellair. We find in some por- 
tions of the rock impressions of coal plants, generally large fragments of 
drifted wood, which became imbedded in the accumulating sand. They 
are found twenty or thirty feet below the Bellair seam of coal, and, of 
course, were deposited long before the vegetation constituting that seam 
of coal had grown. | 
About a mile west of Bellair a geological section was made, showing 
the upper Bellair coal, the equivalent of the upper Barnesville seam:
