The partings are all present, and the pyrites band near the top is from 
one-third to two-thirds of an inch thick. Nodules of pyrites are not of 
frequent occurrence. The coal is of excellent quality, and this bank sup- 
plies most of the fuel used in the vicinity. 
In the southern portion of the township, Coal No. 8 lies about one hun- 
dred and sixty feet above Short Creek, the fall of the creek being littie 
more than that of the coal. Openings are few, and are worked only late 
in autumn to supply the wants of the owners. The bed averages about 
four feet nine inches. In the western portion, near York, we find—

The coal is apparently of fair quality, but the openings are quite 
insignificant. At Mr. John Scott’s bank, nearly two miles north from 
York, the coal is five feet thick, and Coal No. 9 (?) is only nine feet above 
it. No limestone is found in the interval. 
At Adena the Crinoidal limestone is found in the bed af Short Creek.

The Crinoidal limestone here is light gray and not very compact. It 
contains many fossils, which weather readily from the rock. The most 
common species are Productus longispinus, Retzia punctilrfera, Camarophoria 
Osagensis, Hemipronites crassus, Chonetes Smithit, and fragments of Zeacrinus 
MUCTOSPINUS. 
Wells Townshtp.—Along the river in this township Coal No. 8 hes high 
up in the hills at from 260 to 340 feet above the grade of the Cleveland 
and Pittsburgh Railroad, and openings are seen on the several streams 
emptying into the river. On Rush Run it has been opened by several 
persons, all of whom mine it irregularly, and only to supply their own
