part represented on the Osage river, and the width of the beh 
occupied by the formation is practicahy reduced to nil. It 
is a mere vertical exposure of very hmited extent in low river 
bluffs, with the Chouteau limestones at the base and the Coal 
Measures at the top. 
4. The chief reason for selecting the term Osage — that 
there is a mingling or mixing of Keokuk and Burlington 
forms in southwest Missouri — does not appear valid, since the 
successive faunas are, in reality, as sharply defined and as 
clearly separated from one another as they are farther north, in 
southeastern Iowa. 
The desirability of a definite term to properly express the 
stratigraphical and faunal relationships of a part of the Missis- 
sippian series being recognized, and no name already in use 
being available, even by the most liberal modification of mean- 
ing, a title was selected from the neighborhood of the typical 
developments of the several formations that it was proposed 
to unite. Hence the suggestion of Augusta. 
Instead of "at the time of the proposal of the name Augusta 
was it recognized by its author as synonymous with Williams' 
term Osage" it was considered as distinctly not synonvmous. 
Furthermore a recent note received from the author of Osage 
states that the term Augusta will probably have to stand. It 
may be inferred, therefore, that any "confusion introduced into 
the nomenclature of the Mississippian formations by the term 
Augusta in place of Osage" has not been "by the Geological 
Surveys of Iowa and IMissouri."

DRUMLINS IN GLASGOW. 
By Warren Upham, St. Paul, Minn. 
The sight of a few drumlins near Appleby. Grasmere, and 
Keswick, as noted in the second paper of this series, made me 
eager to see more of these peculiar drift hills, of which, so 
far as they are developed in England and Scotland, little has 
been written. In our journey from Keswick, over the Solway 
lowlands and past the Cheviot hills to Edinburgh, and on- 
ward in the moderately hilly agricultural region of eastern
