 marine Hudson River channel: Am. Jour. Sci., 3d ser., 40, pp. 425-437. 



Discusses the evidence of a submarine channel of Hudson River between Montauk

The boulders at Iron Hill, on the south shore of Block Island, were not discovered 

 until after this report was published, and the accompanying map therefore does not 

 show those boulders.
