F. Leverett — Correlation of Moraines 



original absence of life but often to tlie lack of conditions for 

 preservation, this evidence should be taken with caution. 



Horns of elk and deer have been obtained from the Leipsic 

 beach in the railway gravel pit near Crawtis college between 

 Gilboa and Ottawa. They were imbedded in undisturbed 

 beach gravels at a depth of eight or nine feet below the sur- 

 face, and are therefore as old as the beach itself. 



As previously stated, the Leipsic beach has its terminus at 

 Tiorth Linndale. The beach here connects with the western end 

 of a moraine. By reference to the accompanying map (fig. 3)

Fig. 3. Map of Cleveland and vicinity showing the junction of the Leipsic and 

 Bel/more beaches with their correlative moraines. 



Explanation of Map. — The beaches are represented by a series of benches or 

 steps cut in the bluffs and plains. The Leipsic beach comes to the bluff of Big- 

 creek at North Linndale (N"L) the Belrnore beach near Brighton (B). The terraces 

 in East Cleveland are to be seen between Newburg (JST) and the Garfield Monu- 

 ment (CM). Two lower beaches are indicated. Their exact position in the city of 

 Cleveland was not mapped but is probably within a mile of the position indicated 

 in the map. These lower beaches alone occur east from Euclid. The moraines 

 are indicated by curved lines representing the billowy and uneven surface which 

 they present. The letters indicate villages as follows: (W) Willoughby; (G-M) 

 Garfield Monument; (Rl) Randall; (N) Newburg; (B) Brighton; (NL) North 

 Linndale; (R) Rockport; (Ba) Berea. 



it will be seen that the beach just east of Rockport swings 

 from a course north of east to a southeasterly course, and is 

 there made up of a series of ridges of nearly uniform height 

 which are united at the curving portion of the ridge but 

 diverge into distinct ridges toward the southeast so that their 

 ends are spread out over a space of nearly one-half mile. The 

 outer ridge comes to Big creek bluff in ISTorth Linndale.
