or kettle-holes. They are most abundant between Storm ville and 

 the river. Where the valley widens, just east of Stormville, two 

 sets of kame-like ridges on either side of the valley have the form 

 of a V. 



Short tributary kames, whose axes are at right-angles to the 

 main kame in the valley, appear opposite ravines or depressions 

 in the hills bordering the valley. 



A buried kame lies along the north and south valley of Broad- 

 head's Creek, almost completely covered by subsequent deposits 

 of terrace material. The top of the kame stands out of the level 

 terrace plain which borders the creek at Stroudsburg and vicinity. 

 A fine section of the buried kame at Stroudsburg shows its 

 anticlinal structure and a. fault in it caused by settling. 



Another most interesting buried kame is in the valley of Mc- 

 Michael's Creek, in Hamilton Township, where the top of the 

 kame appears through the sand}' terrace plain which covers the 

 valley. The kame runs along the centre of the valley while the 

 creek wanders irregularly through it. The kames are clear]}' 

 older than the terrace material. 



Of the other kames and kame-like ridges of Monroe County, 

 reference onby need here be made to certain kames upon the sum- 

 mit of the Pocono plateau, which are of interest in draining 

 northward ; of these there may be mentioned the steep, sharp 

 ridges of sand near Tompkinsville, Tolyhanna Township, which 

 run toward lower ground northward, thus draining the glacial 

 waters toward the Lehigh. These are immediately back of the 

 terminal moraine. 



Again, just west of the Lehigh River, and immediately north 

 of the moraine, there appear kame-like ridges of sand and gravel 

 in small valleys emptying into the Lehigh. These are parallel 

 to the moraine, and are so simply because the drainage is here 

 south of east, while the moraine trends to the northwest. 



Below Scranton, on the Lackawanna River, and also on the 

 Susquehanna, are long ridges of stratified sandy material, which 

 are quite distinct from the terrace deposits of those rivers, and 

 which appear to be portions of a kame similar to that described 

 by Mr. Upham on the Connecticut River, and of similar origin. 

 These cannot be classed among the marginal kames. 



In " Pope Hollow," close to the line between South Valley 

 township, Cattaraugus County, and Carroll township, Chau-
