These sections suffice to show the great want of uniformity in the ma- 
terial directly above the lower coal; the last section, with five feet of 
Conglomerate wedged between a three-foot coal above and a five-foot coal 
below, does not indicate a proper Sub-conglomerate coal, or a coal below 
the true horizon of the Conglomerate. Itmarksa local subdivision during 
the deposition of Coal No. 1, after which, the debris of a Conglomerate 
ridge bordering the marsh, was carried down on to the coal and re-ce- 
mented into rock. Similar local deposits of Conglomerate debris are 
found in the roof of Coal No. 1,in Trumbull county. This fact, men- 
tioned in my report on that county in Vol. I, has been quoted by Prof. 
Lesley, of the Pennsylvania Survey (report of progress, 1875), as evi- 
dence that our Coal No. 1 is Sub-conglomerate, and he suggests that the 
bed of sandstone found above this coal is a combination of the Conglom- 
erate. While it is true, in Ohio, that Coal No. 1 is often, topographically, 
below the Conglomerate, is bordered by Conglomerate and Waverly 
rocks, which rise in hills of considerable height along the margin of the 
old coal swamps, the debris of which is sometimes found in the roof of 
the coal, it is quite certain that nowhere in the northern or north-west- 
ern part of our coal-field is this coal geologically below the Conglomerate. 
It is also certain that the great bulk of this rock is found outside of the 
productive coal territory. The most of the ravines which penetrate far 
into the Coal Measures and expose the rocks below the lowest coal, show 
that this Conglomerate is very thin or wholly wanting. It would be of 
incalculable benefit to the northern part of the State if this coal could 
be found under the broad expanse of Conglomerate which covers the 
most of Geauga and Medina counties and the northern parts of Summit 
and Portage, but its base is exposed in too many places (where it is
