810 GEOLOGY OF OHIO. 
a ridge of Drift material, gravel and sand, two miles long west of the 
center. Blocks of sandstone are -here scattered for half a mile in a8. S. 
K. direction from their place of origin. 
Much of the southern part of Canfield is underlain by Coal No. 4, and it 
was at one time quite extensively worked by Messrs. John and Wm. 
Wetmore, on Section 24. The coal is here about five feet thick, all cannel, 
with the exception of a thin sheet at the bottom. The coal of the upper 
bench contains about nineteen per cent. of ash, that ofthe lower eleven and 
one-half per cent. A beautiful fossil fish was obtained in the center ofa 
block of this cannel while the mine was worked. It is a species of 
Paleonicus, (P. Peltigerus, N.), and is now in the possession of Mr. Wm. 
Wetmore. The cannel seam has been opened west of Wetmore’s mine, 
both north and south of the township line, but is apparently less pure 
and good in this direction. In the southwest corner of the township it 
is opened on the land of Mr. Ewing, near the steam saw mill. It is here 
but two and one halffeet in thickness, the lower two feet being bituminous 
coal, of good quality, the upper six inches cannel. Hight feet below this 
coal seam is another, which is regarded by Mr. Wetmore as Coal 3a; if 
so, it approaches much nearer to No. 4 than it is known to do elsewhere. 
Possibly this is only one of the local seams so frequently met with in 
this part of the series. 
ELLSWORTH. 
Coals Nos. 3 and 3a are known to exist in greater or less development 
in most parts of thistownship. In tae northeastern part, on the lands of 
G. Harding, and in the northwestern part, on the farm of Thomas Rose 
Coal No. 3 has been somewhat worked; and in the east and southeast 
section Coal No. 3a has been opened on the lands of Henninger and Durs- 
man, but is not now mined. 
No successful boring has been made for the ‘bomen Coal in Ellsworth, 
and the presence or absence of this seam must be determined by 
further search. 
Very beautiful crystals of gypsum are found in a clay bank just south 
of the center of Ellsworth, and from this locality they have been very 
generally distributed to the mineralogists of the country. 
BERLIN. 
No coal is worked in this township. Coal No. 3 is found in many 
localities, but is generally thin. It has been opened on the Kline farm. 
It is believed that good basins of Coal No. 1 underlie this township, but 
very little has been done to test the truth of this impression. From the
