amass of sand, rubbish and boulders which extend themselves to 
a long hill, which my time would not allow me to level. On 
most places the furrows are so evident, that their direction, on 
a length from ten to twenty feet, was often perfectly straight, 
and could be determined with certainty to within half a degree. 
It was seldom that it was uncertain to a whole degree, but in 
such cases the medium of several observations was taken, or if 
the different furrows appeared very various, the variations were 
remarked. 
The results of the observations are as follows, and are noted 
here as they have been read off from the compass.

From the above description we might be justified in drawing 
this conclusion, that the furrows, with respect to their deeiiitinn 
on a large mountain, follow the same run as on a small rock, in 
the way already mentioned, and I have even seen this corrobo- 
rated in all other places. It is also necessary that the observa- 
tions should be made with judgment, and however easy this may
