mound-like deposits occur. A large one may be seen at the south 

 end of St. Bees Valley, numerous sections of which have been 

 produced by the cutting action of the sea. One of these sections 

 is represented in Fig. 9. 



Accumulations of gravel are occasionally met with on the ridge 

 between two valleys j^one of these occurs near Cockhow, on the 

 water-shed between the head of Ulldale and of Ennerdale, at an 

 altitude of about seven hundred feet. 



At the upper end of some of the mountain valleys, clusters of 

 moraine-like mounds are met with. One of the most interesting 

 of these occurs in Greenup Gill, at the head of Borrowdale. A 

 perspective sketch of it is given in Fig. 10. An equally interesting 

 group occurs at the upper end of Ennerdale, and another in Long- 

 strath. 



True glacial moraines are met with among the hills. Sometimes 

 at considerable altitudes they may be seen on the ridges dividing 

 two valleys. At Ore-gap, on the water-shed between Green Hole 

 and Angle Tarn, on the flanks of Bowfell, at an elevation of 2500 

 feet, there occurs a long, low and irregular mass of morainic matter, 

 the nature of which closely resembles the terminal or lateral 

 moraines of Swiss Glaciers. 



Such are the different forms assumed by the deposits. The 

 next feature to be considered is their inner nature. 



Inner Nature of Deposits. In examining the inner nature of 

 most of the deposits that have just been described, so far as relates 

 to their form, almost the first thing that obtrudes itself before the 

 attention of an observer is the mixed character of the boulders 

 they contain. (See Transactions, Part V.) 



The curious commingling of boulders from different sources, as 

 they occur in the Upper- and Lower Boulder Clays, will be best 

 understood by putting in tabular form the contents of these beds 

 as they are found at several places in the district.
