The thickness of coal, exclusive of the thin partings, is nine feet ten 
inches, twelve feet, and eleven feet seven inches, respectively, at these 
different openings. These openings are all near the town site of Buck- 
ingham. It will be noticed that there is an unusual thickening of the 
middle bench. This everywhere characterizes the Nelsonville seam on 
Upper Sunday Creek. At Straitsville and Shawnee, on the Upper 
Monday Creek, the upper bench is the thickened one. Three specimens 
of the coal from Buckingham were analyzed by Professor Wormley. 
Two of the samples I selected from the middle bench at locations of 
measurements No. 1 and, No. 2, and the third from the lower bench at 
No.2. The analyses are as follows: 
No. 1. No. 2. No. 3.
