MAIN MORAINIC SYSTEM OF THE MIAMI LOBE. 355 



is joined by the other members of the system. In Indiana the united belt 

 passes north of west across northern Wayne and southern Randolph coun- 

 ties into northeastern Hem-y County, where it connects with the correlative 

 moraine of the East White lobe. 



The outer member is quite distinct around the southern end of the 

 loop from near Dayton to the State line and has a width of 2 to 3 miles. 

 Throughout the remainder of its course it is more closely associated with the 

 later members, but it does not appear to be overridden by the later ones 

 except in the extreme northern portion of the eastern limb, and possibly in 

 the reentrant angle between the Miami and East White lobes, in Henry 

 County, Ind. 



The middle member is clearly recognized throughout its entire length 

 by the remarkably large number of bowlders which it carries. It lies in 

 the midst of the morainic system, passing from the liead of Mad River 

 (east of Bellefontaine) soutliwestward near Spring Hills, Mosquito Lake, 

 St. Paris, Christiansburg, and West Charlestown, and crossing the Miami 

 River just above Dayton. It then makes a gentle curve around the 

 southern end of the loop, passing about 3 miles north of Germantown, 

 and touching the villages of Farmersville, Enterprise, and West Alexandria, 

 and the northern part of the city of Eaton. From Eaton it follows the 

 northeast side of Sevenmile Creek northward to its source near Ebenezer, 

 and continues northwest past Brinley and Braflfettsville, coming to the 

 State line just north of the village of Whitewater, Ind. In Indiana it passes 

 through Bethel and touches Arba, lying mainly south of the village. It 

 crosses the Grand Rapids and Indiana Railway 2 to 4 miles south of Lynn, 

 and comes to the Big Four Railway near Bloomingsport and continues 

 near the line of that railway to Losantville, then passes north into Henry 

 County, connecting near Blountsville with the coirelative moraine of the 

 East White lobe. The usual width of this member where distinct is 2 

 miles or less. 



The inner member is not so strong as the others and forms a distinct 

 belt for only a few miles in the point of the terminal loop. Its inner 

 border is usually sufficiently in contrast with the plains iiortli of it to admit 

 of mapping, but in places it passes into tliem by insensible gradations. 

 The position of this inner border mjiy be indicated approximately by lines 

 connecting the following towns: Degraff, Quincy, Palestine, Fletcher, 

 Troy, Harrisburg, Pyrmont, Sonora, Ithaca, and Fort Jefferson, Ohio; and
