Summit of high knob east of Kelso's house, --Concealed strata, 40' 0" Slates, (and coal bed?)--Concealed strata, 40' 0' Coal bed? Freeport lower, --Concealed strata, 45' 0' Sandstone, Freeport, --Coal? Kittanning upper, --Concealed strata, 100' 0" Coal bed, Kittanning lower, 3' 0" Concealed strata, 28' 0' Ferriferous limestone, --Concealed strata, 30' 0" Coal bed, Clarion, --Concealed strata, 20' 0" Slates, 10' 0' Coal bed, Brookville, 5' 0" Concealed strata 30' 0' Run level, --Total thickness of rocks 351' 0' 172.
