First sentence: This subject has been treated in so masterly a manner by the State Geologist of the First Survey of Pennsylvania, Prof. H. D. Rogers, in the Second Volume of his Final Report of 1858, pages 795 to 811, that it will only be necessary to state shortly what parts of Western and Northern Pennsylvania are occupied by Coal Measures,-the geographical relationship of the Clearfield and Jefferson District to the whole area so occupied-and the series of rocks constituting the Coal Measures, considered as one formation, the lest and highest of the Palaeozoic or Old-Age Geological System.
