STEVENSON CARBONIFEROUS OF APPALACHIAN BASIN burg as 303 to 306 feet; another, father east, shows 348, while along the West Virginia border the interval varies from 348 to 363 feet.* THE NORTHERN PANHANDLE OF WEST VIRaiNIA Passing over into that portion of West Virginia which lies between the Pennsylvania line and the Ohio river, one finds the Pittsburg coal bed mined at Lazearsville on the Ohio river, in Brooke county, about 30 miles north from Wheeling and 5 miles south from Steubenville, Ohio, but it certainly extends in patches for several miles farther north. The full section must be present on Buffalo creek in this count}'', since at the Pennsylvania line the Pittsburg coal bed is below the bed of the stream. Parther south along the Ohio some sections are available in the vicinity of Wheeling. Two of them, one at Wheeling and the other between 3 and 5 miles east from that city, give: 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18.

The Waynesburg is identified clearly, the overlying limestone char- acterizes the Cassville shales of the Dunkard in much of western Wash- ington county, and the Uniontown limestone is present, though thin, while higher in the hill appear the coals of the Dunkard in proper suc- cession. Doctor White finds this bed at Wheeling 3 feet thick and 356 feet above the Pittsburg; the interval at 5 miles east is 366 feet. The Uniontown coal bed is not shown in the second section, but it * J.
