Glacial Elevations of the New England 

 Coast. Professor N. S. Shaler, in the course 

 of his studies to investigate the origin of 

 kames or " Indian ridges," which are particu- 

 larly abundant and characteristic along the 

 New England sea-coast south of Portland, 

 Maine, has been led to the conclusion that 

 the glacial submergence along this coast was 

 much greater than is commonly assumed. 

 Very distinct cross-bedded sands in exten- 

 sive sheets occur at points as much as one 

 hundred and seventy feet above high tide, 

 in positions where, owing to the contour 

 of the ground, one can not believe that 

 they were formed in any inclosed basin of 

 fresh water. They are found at Randolph 

 Station, on the Old Colony Railway, and 

 about Attleboro, Massachusetts, at heights 

 of from one hundred and ninety to two 

 hundred feet. These deposits were clearly 

 distributed by tidal action, and, as we must 

 suppose that the water lay to the depth of 

 fifty feet or so above the place of the de- 

 posit, there must have been something like 

 two hundred feet of depression along this 

 shore where the glacier left it. Between 

 this level and the present shore -line the 

 kames are plentifully scattered. In consid- 

 eration of their delicate structure and sharp
