KAME AREAS OF WESTERN NEW YORK. 

 By Herman LeRoy Fairchild. 



(Abstract. )* 



This paper was a description of areas of sand or gravel in the 

 region south of Irondequoit and Sodus bays. The largest in area is 

 that occupying the upper part of the Irondequoit valley. South of 

 this, and essentially a portion of it, lies the \'ictor kame area, with the 

 highest hills in Monroe County. Another interesting area of kames 

 is in the southern part of Monroe County, west of the Irondequoit 

 valley, surrounding the Mendon ponds. The other large area 

 described in the paper lies north of Geneva and includes the Junius 

 ponds. 



These localized accumulations of water-laid drift were piled at the 

 ice front during the rapid melting and recession of the glacier by the 

 streams flowing out of the glacier, and mostly in the standing water 

 of the glacial lakes which bathed the ice front.
