on Gething, where a seam exposed is correlated with the Falls seam. From
the type exposure on Aylard Creek the outcrop is estimated to run south-
easterly in the cliffs a little back from the river, and exposures should be
sought in the higher, but not the highest, cliffs up Mogul Creek and neigh-
bouring gullies. Continuing, the outcrop probably runs southeasterly back
from the river, but no exposures are at present known for 2 miles; the next
exposure is on Moosebar Creek, where a seam between the third and upper
falls is correlated with the Falls seam. It is not at present possible to
estimate where this seam would come on Johnson creek.

“At the type exposure on Aylard Creek the Falls seam has the following
section, including 2 feet 7 inches of coal and 1 foot of canneloid coal:

Sandstone and shale in 1- to 5-inch bands.

“About one mile to the northwest on the cliff wall above Earle narrows
the seam correlated with the Falls seam is 3 feet thick, but this measure-

ment includes large concretions near the base. The upper part is of can-
neloid coal.

“About 1-2 miles to the west, the seam on Gething creek correlated
with the Falls has the following section and includes 1 foot 11 inches of
coal and 11 inches of canneloid coal:

The bottom 13 inches consists of jet coal. To the southeast, 2-5 miles from
the type exposure, the Moosebar Creek seam, correlated with the Falls,
contains about 1 foot 8 inches of coal and has the following section:

The presence of canneloid coal is a characteristic of this seam.
