44 PLEISTOCENE OF INDIANA AND MICHIGAN. 



McBeth, W. A., Physical geography of the region of the great bend of the Wabash: Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci., 1899, 

 pp. 157-161. 



Contains discussions of drift topography and drainage peculiarities illustrated by a contour map in which the 

 contours are greatly out of harmony with the slopes of the region. 



The development of the Wabash drainage system and the recession of the ice sheet in Indiana: Proc. Indiana 



Acad. Sci., 1900, pp. 184-192. 



Gives an interpretation of the recession of the ice sheet which is not in harmony with the moraines and attendant 



Western Indiana bowlder belts: Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci., 1900, pp. 192-194. 



Presents the old but discarded view that the bowlder belts are the product of floating ice in a lake. 



— Wabash River terraces in Tippecanoe County, Ind. : Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci., 1901, pp. 237-243. 



Notes are presented on the altitude and structure of terraces of the Wabash and the occurrence of a deep pre- 

 glacial valley along the part of the river in Tippecanoe County. 



— History of Wea Creek in Tippecanoe County, Ind. : Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci., 1901, pp. 244-247. 



The history is interpreted on the hypothesis of the existence of transient lakes between moraines due to an 



assumed blocking of the Wabash Valley to the west by the ice sheet. 

 McCaslin, D. S., Reports on counties in Indiana as follows: Jay County: Twelfth Ann. Rept. Dept. Geology and 



Nat. Hist. Indiana, 1882, pp. 153-165; Johnson County: Thirteenth Rept., 1883, pp. 116-127. 

 Outlines the course of morainic ridges and other glacial features in Jay County, and discusses the structure and 



constitution of the drift. Notes the great number of bowlders in parts of Johnson County, but considers them the 



residue from the erosion of a thick till sheet instead of a deposit at the ice margin.

 McLouth, C. D., Topography, soils, water resources, etc., of Muskegon County, Mich.: Rept. State Board Geol. Survey 



Michigan for 1901, pp. 104-107. 



— Water supplies of Muskegon County: Water-Supply Paper U. S. Geol. Survey No. 183, pp. 25-45. 

 Discusses flowing-well areas and municipal supplies. 



Montgomery, H. T., The Kankakee Valley: Proc. Indiana Acad. Sci., 1898, pp. 277-282. 



Discusses the glacial drainage through the valley from the Lake Michigan, Saganaw, and Maumee lobes. Carries 

 too much of the drainage from the Lake Michigan glacier past South Bend, and interprets part of the morainic 

 systems of the Lake Michigan lobe to be a moraine of the Saginaw lobe.

 pp. 27-29.

75-76. 

 Moseley, E. L., Lake Erie enlarging: The Lakeside Magazine, Lakeside, Ohio, Apr., 1898, vol. 1, pp. 14-17. 



Notes submerged stalactites, submerged stumps, and the character of insular flora and deduces from them an 

 expansion of Lake Erie at its western end, which is referred to a recent tilting of the lake basins. 



Submerged valleys in Sandusky Bay: Nat. Geog. Mag., vol. 13, 1902, pp. 398-403. 



Reports that a submerged valley of Sandusky River and valleys of smaller streams continue across Sandusky Bay 

 into Lake Erie, thus presenting another evidence of the recent tilting referred to rh Jast-cited paper. 

 - Formations of Sandusky Bay and Cedar Point [Ohio]: President's address in Proc. Ohio Acad. Sci., vol. 14, 



pt. 5, 1905, pp. 179-238. 



Carefully discriminates between the tilting of the land and the variations of rainfall in producing differences in 

 lake level. Estimates the encroachment of the lake in a century, as well as the total encroachment. Notes that 

 Cedar Point is especially valuable in its storm beaches, whose dates are a matter of record, in showing the changes 

 now in progress, and that Sandusky Bay is a good example of a drowned valley. 

 Mudge, E. H., Observations along the valley of Grand River, Michigan: Am. Geologist, vol. 12, 1893, pp. 284-288. 

 Describes glacial features of the region. 



Drainage systems of the Carboniferous area of Michigan: Am. Geologist, vol. 14,- 1894, pp. 301-308. 



Describes the topography and discusses the origin of the river systems. 



Central Michigan and the postglacial submergence: Am. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., vol. 50, 1895, pp. 442-445. 



Brings evidence from a bar in the Grand River valley that a west-flowing stream of considerable strength and 

 volume discharged from the Saginaw basin through this valley — evidence which opposes the view that the valley 

 was occupied by a strait at sea level. 



Some features of preglacial drainage in Michigan: Am. Jour-. Sci., 4th ser., vol. 4, 1897, pp. 383-386. 



Estimates southern peninsula of Michigan to have greatest average thickness of drift found in area of its size in 

 North America, yet the old topography is not completely buried. Conjectures, by means of borings in the great 

 depressions of the State, the general course of a few preglacial valleys. Accepts Spencer's interpretation that the 

 main stream flowed from the Lake Michigan toward the Saginaw Bay basin; but gives a map showing that the 

 valleys converge toward Lake Michigan. 



Mouth of Grand River, Michigan: Am. Jour. Sci., 4th ser., vol. 8, 1899, pp. 31-34. 



Describes deposits where Grand River enters the glacial lake outlet in eastern Ionia County that throw light 

 upon the height of water in the outlet.
