382 GLACIAL FORMATIONS OF ERIE AND OHIO BASINS. 



of gravel, beneath which there was blue till extending to the rock, wliich 

 was struck at a depth of 190 feet. 



On the uplands bordering Stillwater River the drift seldom exceeds 

 50 feet, and is, in places, 10 feet or less in thickness, while along the river 

 there are rocky bluffs with scarcely a break throughout the entire course of 

 the stream through this plain. 



Toward the west the thickness of the drift increases, borings near 

 Union City having 60 to 200 feet or more, while those west and south of 

 Winchester, Ind., show a range from 80 to 333 feet. In wells in the 

 vicinity of Union City the drift contains but little assorted material, and 

 the same is true in the majority of those near Winchester. The boring 

 near Winchester (about 1^ miles west), in which 333 feet of drift was 

 penetrated, passed through a large amount of quicksand. The Lockport 

 (Niagara) limestone, which covers nearly the whole of the elevated portion 

 of eastern Indiana, was absent in this well and also in one north of it, on 

 the north side of White River. In tlie latter well also there was more than 

 300 feet of drift.

THE MEMBERS OF THE SYSTEM. 

 DISTRIBUTION. 



This main morainic system connects definitel}' with that of the Miami 

 lobe on the uplands of Logan County and also with a similar morainic 

 system of the Grrand River lobe. There are perhaps some adA'antages in 

 setting forth the distribution in the reverse order from that here presented; 

 but, as originally prepared, this part of the Monograph dealing with the 

 Scioto lobe was intended to be published as a separate bulletin of the 

 Survey; and since it would involve a practical rewriting of the jjaper to 

 reverse the order of presentation, the old order has been retained. 



This morainic system, as shown in the glacial maps (Pis. II and XIII), 

 connects on the northeast with the western limb of the outer moraine of the 

 Grand River glacial lobe, forming with it an interlobate belt which occupies 

 much of Stark County and extends northward through eastern Summit and 

 western Portage counties to a later morainic system, which continues the 

 interlobate tract into Geauga County.
