This opinion is strengthened from the fact, that the head branches of the south fork now rise within two miles of the Ohio, and run northerly, parallel with and opposite to, the course of the Muskingum for 12 miles, and joins that river, 20 miles from its mouth.
Seite 17 - These islands are but seldom visited, because early in the spring and late in the fall it is dangerous sailing in their bark canoes ; and in the summer they are so infested with various kinds of serpents (but chiefly rattle-snakes) that it is dangerous landing.
Seite 10 - Washington county, in the midst of the marl region, is a locality of fossil fresh water shells, of the genus unio.

Seite 11 - Muskingum for 12 miles, and join that river, 20 miles from its mouth. The remains of its ancient beds would form pools and ponds of standing water, furnishing fit residences for the fresh water shells, whose fossil remains are now found there. Great changes have, evidently, been made in the direction of all our water courses, before they found their present levels.
