Meeting of Biological Club.

bounded on the north by a ridge of Waverly which rises as much 
as 100 feet above the bed of the channel. On the south at Linn 
Post Office the contact is at an elevation of about 1000 feet above 
sea level; at the Pike-Jackson County boundary line, 900 feet 
on the north and 950 feet on the south. The structure sections 
show the relation and comparative elevation of the contact at 
Linn and in Hay Hollow one mile north. The whole depression 
is filled with a quartz conglomerate over a thin bed of cherty 
breccia in some of the deeper places. This filling rises over the 
sides of the valley but may form only a thin coating. Within 
the channel the thickness ranges from 160 feet at the west to 250 
feet at the east. 
Another tributary is outlined by a line of conglomerate capped 
hills extending west across Marion, Union and into Scioto Town¬ 
ship of Pike County. After turning south across the pre-glacial 
valley of the Teays River conglomerate ledges rise 80 feet above 
the valley of Dry Run and 67 feet at the White Gravel Church. 
Beyond that place the conglomerate thins, a result evidently of a 
widening of the channel and a lowering of its gradient.
