Excerpt from Bulletin of the Scientific Laboratories of Denison University, 1898-1902, Vol. 11 For more than sixty miles below the mouth of the Little Miami. The Ohio river flows through a tortuous channel. The dial of a compass fixed on a steamer will, in that distance, make a complete circuit under the needle. Much of the way the outer curves sweep over rocky detritus fallen from rugged hills crowned with precipitous bluffs; opposite these the inner curves flow gently over sand-bars bordering terraced bottom lands. The variation in the width of the valley is considerable; at times the upland on one side recedes, and a wide bottom inter venes between its foot and the river again, the hills approach each other until only a narrow strip of alluvial soil is found.
