northern deposit of the Maxville group. None of these fossils have I 
ever found in any Coal Measure limestone. Since the above section 
was taken, in 1869, the State of Kentucky has been prosecuting a 
Geological Survey, and, in the reports of Professor Shaler and his assist- 
ants, the limestone, which extends southward, is called a Sub Carbonifer- 
ous limestone. No hills on the opposite or Ohio bank of the river were 
high enough to take the limestone, and the higher hills further north do 
not contain it, so far as I could learn. A limestone on the land of the 
Harrison Furnace Company, several miles north of Sciotoville, which 
I once saw, some years before our Survey began, may be the equivalent 
of the Kentucky limestone, but no special investigation has been made 
to determine this. | 
In the south-western part of Jackson county, in Hamilton township, 
on the land of Enoch Canter, I found the following section :

Mr. Canter reported drilling below the limestone and the finding of 
fine grained Waverly sandstone twelve feet down, there being a clay or 
“soapstone ” between. 
No coal in this neighborhood, so far as I could learn, was below the 
horizon of the limestone ore, believed to be the equivalent of that found 
on the limestone seen on the land of Enoch Canter, resting directly upon 
the Waverly. Jackson Gilliland’s coal, the finest of block coal, on a slight 
elevation west of Mr. Canter’s, is by barometer forty-five feet above the 
Waverly. Here the limestone was not seen.
