Popis:	The Wabash sluiceway between Huntington and Peru is characterized by numerous moundlike rocky hills which are composed of the unreduced portions of Niagaran coral and stromatoporoid reefs. Hills of a similar character on the Island of Gotland are called "Klintar," and that name is adopted in this paper. The upstream end of the northern Indiana klintar is always abrupt, but the downstream portion is frequently concealed by long low tails of inter-reef bed rock or of glacial drift. Some of the klintar were in existence in preglacial times, while others were formed during the excavation of the Wabash sluiceway by the escaping glacial-flood waters. Attention is called to klintar elsewhere in this country and also in Europe.
