greenstone, etc., are the most usual kinds of rock, though many fragments 

 of limestone and shale prevail. From the kind and character of the rock 

 composing these kames, I take the material to be re- wrought material of 

 the glacial drift. 



A few of the ordinary fossils were : Spirifer mucronatus, Avicula emacer-- 

 ata (?), Rhynchonella capax, and many cyathophylloid and silicious favosi- 

 toid corals. The native Niagara and Waterlime Groups also contribute 

 a number of specimens. In most cases the fossils, like the other pebbles, 

 are very much worn, and thereby rendered almost unrecognizable. 



Below is a section of one of those isolated kames spoken of, known as 

 "Bunker Hill," situated about a mile and a half south-west from Green- 

 ville, near the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis Railroad :

This example was formerly full fifty feet in height, but has now been 

 pretty much removed. 



A very fine section obtained at Hetzler's gravel pit, in Adams town- 

 ship, shows the following series :

In this instance there were no bowlders at all, and three-fourths of the 

 pebbles consisted of limestone and blue shale. The layers, too, were ex- 

 ceedingly well stratified, and largely present the interlocking appearance. 

 A dozen different sections might be given, but the two selected here 

 present the greatest variance of any two yet observed, and may be con- 

 sidered as combining the characteristics of all.
