just as the Oswego escarpment is the limit of the Cherokee Low- 
lands. Its course in Missouri is rather an unexpected one to me, 
since it seems to cut across to the eastern border of the Carbonif- 
erous. 
The Erie escarpment has been traced northward by Mr. Bennett 
to where it passes over the state line at the northeast corner of 
Linn county. It is probable that this escarpment continues in a 
sinuous course in Missouri around the head of some streams and 
is the same one described by Marbut as the Bethany Falls escarp- 
ment which he states enters Missouri in the southern part of Cass 
county. The region between the Henrietta and Bethany Falls 
escarpment has been called by him the Warrensburg platform. 
To the west of the Bethany Falls escarpment Marbut describes 
the Lathrop platform and the Marysville Lowlands. It is not 
possible here to give the Kansas equivalents of these belts, since 
a large area intervenes which I have not studied. It would appear; 
however, that in Kansas the escarpments described, or others sim1- 
lar, continue to the Missouri river.
