May, 1915.] Meeting of Biological Club. 523 



bounded on the north by a ridge of Waverly which rises as much 

 as 100 feet above the bed of the channel. On the south at Linn 

 Post Office the contact is at an elevation of about 1000 feet above 

 sea level; at the Pike-Jackson County boundary line, 900 feet 

 on the north and 950 feet on the south. The structure sections 

 show the relation and comparative elevation of the contact at 

 Linn and in Hay Hollow one mile north. The whole depression 

 is filled with a quartz conglomerate over a thin bed of cherty 

 breccia in some of the deeper places. This filling rises over the 

 sides of the valley but may form only a thin coating. Within 

 the channel the thickness ranges from 160 feet at the west to 250 

 feet at the east. 



Another tributary is outlined by a line of conglomerate capped 

 hills extending west across Marion, Union and into Scioto Town- 

 ship of Pike County. After turning south across the pre-glacial 

 valley of the Teays River conglomerate ledges rise 80 feet above 

 the valley of Dry Run and 67 feet at the White Gravel Church. 

 Beyond that place the conglomerate thins, a result evidently of a 

 widening of the channel and a lowering of its gradient.
