from them, were embodied in a series of papers, most of which 

 have been presented before the Academy.* 



Block Island remained as the one important locality not vis- 

 ited, and that was done dnring the past summer. It was also 

 found advisable to confirm, if possible, certain observations 

 rather hurriedly made on the extreme eastern end of Long Island, 

 so that region was also included in the trip. During this trip I 

 was fortunate in having as my companion Professor Lester F. 

 Ward, of the United States Geological Survey, 



Long Island. 



Wading River was the first loealit}; visited, where the north- 

 ern branch of the moraine, along the shore of the Sound, was 

 traversed for a distance of about two miles west and one mile 

 east of the river outlet, in order to close a gap in my previous 

 examination of the moraine. No new facts were observed, the 

 results being merely cumulative. The moraine is composed of 

 water-worn material, with but little till and comparatively few 

 large or angular boulders, although in a field about a quarter of 

 a mile from the shore and about the same distance west of the 

 river we found the largest erratic which I have seen on the Is- 

 land. The presence of clay is indicated at the base of the bluff 

 in several places by springs on the beach, but none was to be 

 seen. Only a few small fragments of what was apparently hard- 

 ened cretaceous material were found ; all, however, destitute of 

 organic remains. In general it may be said that the facts ob- 

 served were in accordance with previous experience. f The 

 southern branch of the moraine was then examined, beginning 

 at the end of Montauk Point and thence westward along the 

 south shore for a distance of some two miles. Here the moraine
