Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Township Geology of Elk and Forest Counties and of Cameron County Dear sir: I have the honor to submit herewith Part II of the report of the progress of the Survey in Elk, Forest, and Cameron counties, giving a detailed description of the geology relating to the coal beds and the strata outcropping above water level in the townships of these three counties. The manuscript for Part I of this report is largely pre pared for the press, and will contain a summary description of the connected geology of the three counties, records and descriptions Of the Oil wells, and a general discussion of the geology of the district as related especially to the Oil rocks. A division of my report was desirable, from the fact that some persons are interested chie y in facts relating to the coal, and others are chie y concerned with the exploration and exploitation of the district for petroleum. An atlas of 11 sheets, relating both to the coal and petro leum geology, was published in advance of the report, in November, 1884. For a description of those sheets in the atlas which relate particularly to the structure Of the rocks below water level, as exhibited in the records of the bore holes and the geology of petroleum, the reader is referred to Part I.
