2. The Hope Bay Moraine. — A slender, but sharply defined moraine 

 was found not far from the shore at Hope Bay on the Saugeen peninsula. 



3. The Linton Moraine. — North of Palgrave there is a strong moraine 

 which turns away to the northwest, but has not been followed in that 

 direction more than 1 5 miles, so that its relations toward the north have 

 not been determined. This same moraine, however, runs east around 

 the north side of Mt. Wolfe and joins the Palgrave moraine. Farther 

 east Linton is on its summit and commands a magnificent view both 

 north and south. This moraine is stronger and stands at a higher level 

 than the Palgrave moraine. One mile east of Linton a low gap through 

 the moraine was probably the course of a large stream issuing from the 

 Simcoe lobe. There is a deposit of sand along the north or rear side of 

 this moraine from Linton to and beyond the gap north of Willcocks Lake. 

 This deposit is not regarded as outwash, but as the work of a stream 

 flowing westward between the ice and the moraine just before the final 

 withdrawal of the ice. The gap at Willcocks Lake suggests a large stream 

 coming through the moraine and flowing west past King. This may have 

 been the case just before the ice readvanced to the Bolton moraine, but 

 when the ice stood at the Bolton moraine, it pressed against the high 

 spur west of Nobleton, and this must have cut off the escape of the 

 waters toward the west. Eastward from Willcocks Lake to the vicinity 

 of High Point the great volume of outwash along the north side of the 

 moraine shows, as stated above, that the bulk of this ridge was built 

 by ice moving towards the north from the basin of Lake Ontario. This 

 is the Oak Ridges moraine described above. At the same time the front 

 of the Simcoe ice lobe must have been close by, for there seems to have 

 been strong drainage westward along the north side of the moraine from 

 a point east of Ballantrae. 



4. The Vxbridge Moraine. — At a time probably a little earlier than 

 the Oak Ridges moraine the ice of the Trent valley pressed southward 

 and built a set of strong, sharply defined morainic ridges running east- 

 southeast one to three miles south of Uxbridge The remarkable thing 

 about this moraine is that it is composed almost wholly, so far as seen 

 of gravel. This gravel is not in the usual forms of glacial or 

 glacio-fluvial origin, but is cast into the typical form of a terminal moraine. 

 Evidently, the material which the ice gathered near by was almost wholly 

 gravel, probably outwash of slightly earlier date. There are several 

 strands of this gravelly moraine, all in parallel arrangement. 



Between these ridges and extending west to a line running south- 

 west from Vivian a great body of gravelly and sandy outwash covers 

 the surface between the gravelly moraine ridges. Its depth varies, but
