Section III.. A Little Farther Up the River Than the Preceding:--

A little farther up the river than the preceding:--

85 Pipe-clay on a level with the water 1 foot 86 Lignite 1 90 Potter's clay 14 feet 87 Pipe-clay 1 foot 89 Lignite 1 91 Potter's clay 10 feet Lignite 1 foot Sandstone 8 feet Lignite 2-1/2 Potter's clay 10 94 Friable sandstone and clay 20 Sandstone a little more durable 12 Sloping Summit 40 --------- 121-1/2

The pipe-clay, when taken newly from the bed, is soft and plastic, has little grittiness, and when chewed for a little time, a somewhat unctuous but not unpleasant taste. When dried in the air it acquires the hardness of chalk, adheres to the tongue, and has the appearance of the whiter kinds of English pipe-clay, but is more meagre.
