coarse gravel mingled with sand. Some of this gravel has been 
cemented together into a form of conglomerate by the action of 
carbonated water.^® Several feet of till containing a large percent- 
age of small bowlders overlies the gravel at this point. This ex- 
posed section at the time of the writer’s first visit revealed the anti- |! 
clinal stratification frequently mentioned in offering sub-glacial S 
theories of origin. This may possibly be explained, however, by I 
slumping of the material after the withdrawal of the ice. This | 
cut has been extensively used by the Cincinnati Northern Elec- i 
trie, which runs alongside, in securing ballast for its new roadway, j 
Fig. 3. (F. Carney). View looking north on esker no. 2. A sharp turn and 
steep rise shows in background. 
No. 2 (figs. 1,3,4.) This starts just within Calvary Cemetery. 
A short longitudinal cut has been made on the west side of this 
end, furnishing the gravel supply for the cemetery. From an 
abrupt rise it proceeds southward, coming alongside of no. i, 
and following almost parallel. To the south it branches and ends 
bluntly on the Miami Valley in two prominent knolls aligned 
with the cut of no. i (figs, 1,6), Water is impended at several 
pbirits between no, i and no. 2. This ridge is separated the 
greater part of its length from the kamy area to the west by a dis- 
tinct and deep trough.
