HEIGHT OF THE BAY OF FUNDY COAST IX THE GLACIAL PERIOD RELATIVE 



TO SEA-LEVEL, A.S EVIDENCED BY MARINE FOSSILS IN TIIK 



BOWLDER-CLAY AT SAINT JOHN, NEW BRUNSWICK 



BY ROBERT CHALMERS 



Remarks were made by Mr Warren Upham as follows: 



These fossiliferous beds with till above and below them were doubtless formed 

 close tu the ice-front, which, as Mr. Chalmers has shown, probably rested on the 

 neighboring hills of this coast, temporarily receding to them and thence ^advanc- 

 ing a short distance into the sea. That the ice-sheet was near is implied by the 

 abundance' of the shells of Yoldia I L da) arctica, which is now found only in Arc- 

 tic seas and thrives best, according to Baron de < leer's observations in Spitzbergen, 

 near the mouths of streams of very silty water discharged from glaciers. 



The paper is printed as pages 361-37' • of this volume.
