The Kittanning Middle Coal, which hasbeen opened and worked quite largely, ishere about 2 11 thick, and is 27 feet lower than at Home-wood Furnace. The Clarion Coal is exposed in a springbelow this bank, but an accurate measurement of it couldnot be made. It is quite thin. The Ferriferous Limestone could not be found in this im-mediate vicinity, and it is either quite thin or absent. Someore has been dug from the shales overlying its horizon. On the opposite side of the river, and about one and ahalf miles south from Clinton station, there are severalquite interesting exposures from which the succession illus-trated by Fig. 132 was compiled. This also fails to show theFerriferous Limestone in situ, and it is more than probablethat the place assigned to this stratum is about twenty feettoo high in the measures. No sign of the rock was
