_ Bowlders, with these marks upon them, I have observed, 
not only in this town, but in Manchester, Ellington, and Wil- 
m. 
I think we cannot account for these appearances, unless 
we call in the aid of ice along with water, and that they have 
been worn by being suspended and carried in ice, over rocks 
and earth, under water. 
It is stated in the Edinburgh Encyclopedia, Vol. XIII. p.

they are carried along with the ice, and deposited on shores 
at a great distance from their original situation.” 
Similar ideas are expressed in the same work, Vol. XI.

lead to probable conclusions respecting the transportation of

In travelling through Chester county, Pa. and part of 
the state of Delaware, on a late mineralogical tour we met 
with a number of interesting localities of Minerals, which 
have not as yet been published. Fora part of the localities, 
we are indebted to Mr. Joel Baily, a zealous and industrious 
Mineralogist, of East Marlborough, who has considerably pro-
