68 The American Geologist. August, 1893 
ditch is over seven miles long, six to ten feet deep, ten feel 
wide ;it top and five or six at the bottom. 
In the region of the find, the first three to four feet consisl 
of dark loose mould abounding in fragments of shrubby stems 
and vines in various stages of decay. Below this is a layer 
tWO or three feet deep, of fine-grained, gray marly silt, about 
half the weight of which, when dry, is soluble in hydrochloric 
acid. This layer, in which the hones were bedded, contains, 
more or less perfectly preserved, various species of small gas- 
teropods and bivalves common to our fresh water marshes. 
Underneath this light colored sediment are coarser and finer 
drift gravels which form the bottom of the ditch. The trad 
drained is near the divide between the head waters of White 
River. Ind.. and the western tributaries of the Miami in Ohio.
