- may beofinterest. A 
full correlation can be 
reached only by re- 
peated efforts of this 
kind. Emphasis will 
necessarily fall upon 
glacial formations, be- 
fluctuations and a 
cause in the age rela- 
tion of peat deposits. 
The general micro- 
scopic analysis of the 
plant remains is re- 
served for a more 
comprehensive paper 
to follow. 
With regard to the 
order of age, from 
older to younger, it 
is advantageous to 
compare briefly a few 
peat deposits (figs. 8, 
10, 12) located be- 
tween Canton and 
Cleveland, Ohio. In 
this part of Ohio 
several of the great 
morainic systems of 
the Wisconsin stage 
of glaciation are 
closely crowded to- 
gether. They extend | 
from Canton north- 
ward as a massive 
(interlobate) belt, and 
show nearly all the 
advantages of indi- 
vidual distinction
