GOLD. 
Mr. Belt refers to the transportation of boulders of auriferous 
quartz in the glacial period, and his success in discovering the 
original lodes or leads by following the glacial striation course. 
ihr, Campbell of Dartinouth, maintains that he has washed gold 
out of the glacial drift. 
METEOROLOGICAL. 
Causes seemed to have changed “ pre-glacial” temperate into 
extraordinary “glacial” frigid, and afterward the latter into 
extraordinary “champlain” torrid, which was succeeded by the 
existing conditions of temperature. 
In this terrestrial magnetism seems to have acted a very im- 
portant part, the character of which is still problematical. Vide 
“Our Glaciai Problem,” APPENDIX of Trans. of Institute, 1886. 
2.—Chanvplain (Ch.) 
While we regard our transportation and glaciation as the work 
of glacial agency, we consider the deposition of the glacial 
freight and its inland distribution as the work of champlain 
agency. 
The extreme (?) torrid heat of the latter period succeeding the 
arctic co:d of the former, the glaciers were forced to retreat and 
so to discharge their accumulated freight. 
Their dissolution and consequent liberation of the captive 
floods must have been fearfully catastrophal, sweeping away 
barriers, transgressing boundaries and effecting endless confu- 
sion. 
Of this we have ample evidence in the phenomena from time 
to time observed, and the perplexity and contradictions of even 
experienced and competent observers when interpreting pheno- 
mena from different standpoints. 
We regard certain valley, excavation, striking northern trans- 
portation, sometimes, too, crossing southern transportation and
