Fig 2. View looking north on esker no. i. 
where it ends in a cut. The upper end of this esker though dis- 
tinctly ridged is not as typically esker-like as the lower end. Inter- 
sections between no. i and no. 2 occur near their southern termi- 
nals. These intersections at one point form a ‘‘Y/’ the base of 
which starts from no. i, the branches leading to no. 2. At all 
the intersections, four in number, the ridges rise, forming knoll- 
like prominences. Small bowlders about the size of cobbles are 
abundant on the surface. These ajre largely of local limestone 
of the same formation (Cincinnati) as that seen in the rock spur 
before mentioned. The exposed cut at the road shows principally

Detailed Description of Eskers. It is unsafe to number these 
ridges as marking separate and distinct lines of drainage, but for 
convenience this method will be adopted. The easternmost will 
be designated no. i and the next, west no. 2. Other lines may 
exist buried beneath and masked by the kame deposits. 
No. I (figs. I, 2.) This may branch from no. 2. As an inde- 
pendent ridge it proceeds from its head (about a quarter of a mile 
below Calvary Cemetery) southward and almost parallel with the 
Cincinnati Pike to a point almost opposite Dorothy Lane (fig. i)
