^A'jird. Frequently on Clifty Creek a stratum of stone below the Waldron 

 «hale is seen which very much resembles the hydraulic beds of Wabash 

 County, both in appearance and jointed structure. The laminated shale 

 ■of Wabash is duplicated by some of the more argillaceous shales of 

 Clifty Creek. The Wabash Valley and Laurel- AA'aldron unconformities 

 seem to be of the same horizon and lend color to the inference that the 

 quarry stone of Wabash County and the Waldron shale are of the 

 same age. 



The Valley of the Lower Tippecanoe River. 

 Fred J. Breeze. 



[Abstract.] 

 The Tippecanoe River deserAes far more attention from the geographer 

 and geologist thaai has ever been given to it. A careful study of this 

 stream will shed light upon some of the problems of glacial phenomena, 

 and will doubtless yield something of interest concerning stream and val- 

 ley development. Believing this, the writer has begun a somewhat sys- 

 tematic study of this river. Several days of the last three months have 

 been devoted to the necessary held work in the preparation of a map of 





the lower part of the Tippecanoe Valley. This map shows the mean- 

 ders of the stream and of its valley, and is,presented at this time with the 

 hope that it may be some little contribution to the geography and geology 

 •of Indiana. 



By Lower Tippecanoe is meant that part of the river from the point 

 where it leaves the region of the Glacial Lake Kankakee to its mouth.
