114 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
four seams of coal are seen, of which the lowest is No. 3, the highest 
probably No. 6. Of the these, the latter has a thickness. of four feet, 
while forty feet below it is another coal, twenty-six inches thick, which 
perhaps represents No. 5. 
At Harker’s, on the north side of Liverpool, where most of the coal 
used in the vicinity is obtained, the following section was taken :

In Ellison’s Hill, north of Liverpool, five seams of coal have been dis- 
covered, which are probably the same with those opened in the Yellow 
Creek valley, though the section presents some peculiarities in the inter- 
vals which separate them. For example, above No. 3, which is only 
eight inches in thickness, no coal is seen—though one may be present— 
within a distance of fifty feet. At this level is a seam eighteen inches 
thick ; sixty-five feet above it, another, twenty-five to twenty-seven 
inches thick; sixty feet above this is a coal seam forty-five inches in 
thickness, probably No. 6; and eighty feet above that lies another coal, 
No. 7, (?) four feet thick. 
At N. A. Walker’s pottery, on the west side of Liverpool, is a better 
exposure; and here the following series of strata are seen:
