and probably connects with a very well-marked belt lying near the south line of the southeast quarter of Marion county and in the northeastern part of Johnson county. There is also a well-defined tract in southeastern Hendricks county, running east and west, without evident connection with the foregoing tracts, though it may be the equivalent of the Darlington belt. There is also a somewhat unusual aggregation in the form of irregular belts in southeastern Johnson county, in the vicinity of Nineveh, and in southern Shelby county. The belt south of Indianapolis is probably to be correlated by scattered boulders only slightly more abundant than those of the adjacent region, but of the surface type, stretching northeasterly to near the center of the west half of Henry county, where a well-marked belt again sets in. From this point the tract runs northeasterly nearly to the north limit of the county, where it turns easterly and runs in the vicinity of the line between Randolph and Wayne counties to near the Ohio line, where it curves to the southeast entering Ohio near the northwest corner of Preble county. In its southeasterly course across that county it is phenomenally developed as has been well shown by the descriptions of Professor Orton. Soon after entering Montgomery county it curves about to a northeasterly course, and crossing the great Miami river, a few miles above Dayton, holds its northeast course across the southeastern part of Miami county, and thence on to about the center of Logan county, where it curves about and runs in a direction a little east of south to near the southeast corner of Champaign county, beyond which it ceases to be a specially notable phenomenon.

In the region between the Wabash and Kankakee rivers, in northern Indiana, there are numerous tracts of irregular form over which surface boulders in phenomenal abundance are scattered. These are particularly noticeable in southern Jasper county; in the vicinity of Wolcott, Monon and Chalmers in White county; near Star City in Pulsaki county; in the southeastern corner of Stark county, and very generally along the great interlobate moraines, lying parallel with the Eel river,
