In no other portion of the First Geological District, excepting the 
southern portion of Jefferson county, is so long a section of upper coals 
seen, though it is by no means probable that we have reached the sum- 
mit of the series. The rocks dip south-eastwardly, so that in the southern 
portion of the county rocks much higher than any given in the section 
must occur. The Upper Barren Group of Rogers, which, according to J. 
C. White, has a thickness of nearly eight hundred and fifty feet in south- 
western Pennsylvania, beginning with the sandstone above our Coal No. 
11, is shown here only partially, the total thickness seen in northern 
Belmont county being only about one hundred and sixty feet. In another 
place* I have shown the relations of the Ohio upper coals to those of Penn- 
sylvania and West Virginia, and the parallelism there given has recently 
been confirmed by the exceedingly careful section made by Mr. J. C. 
White, from the Monongahela to the Ohio at Wheeling, and published 
in the Annals Lyc. Nat. Hist. N. Y., vol. XI. The equivalence of the 
coals thus determined is as follows:
