GLACIAL DRIFT. 201 



due to other causes than the mere influence of the two mountahis, so that 

 wc cannot strongly insist that the easterly movement of the striae from 

 Hill to Warner is entirely clue to the presence of the two mountains. 

 The only feature where this case is unlike Monadnock, is the easting at 

 the base of the mountain, which we see may have been produced by an 

 independent movement. 



Other Mountains siuiilarly Striated. Of other mountains similarly 

 situated, some exhibit the same kind of ice-action. Mt. Gunstock has 

 S. 62° E. striae on top, and the S. 32^-35° E. course on the east side, bor- 

 dering Lake Winnipiseogee. Mt. Lovell in Washington shows the direc- 

 tion S. 36° E. on the summit, while it is commonly S. 21° E. in the north 

 part of the town, though crossed by a set running S. 41° E. Lempster 

 mountain summit shows the direction S. 41° E., and it is S. 21° E. on the 

 west side. On Mt. Cuba we find S. 28° E. and S. 37° E., while it is com- 

 monly west of south in Orford on the west, and S. 22° E. in Wentworth. 

 Moose mountain in Hanover shows S. 38° E. on its summit, while the 

 course is south on the western side, and S. 19° E. on the Enfield side. 

 There is a south-east course in the middle and south-east part of Hano- 

 ver, which may have some connection with these movements on the ele- 

 vated summits. Sunapee mountain would be expected to agree with its 

 neighbors, but no observations of strioe have been made there. Mt. As- 

 cutney, just out of the state, exhibits phenomena worthy of mention here. 

 This has the same altitude with Mt. Monadnock, while the land about it 

 is more uneven, averaging less than around the Cheshire peak. Owing 

 to the rapid disintegration of the rock, striae are scarce, and perhaps the 

 few examples discovered should not be taken as truthfully representing 

 the general courses. The very summit showed a due south course. About 

 300 feet lower down, on the north-east side of the mountain, following 

 the Windsor path, are striae running due east, or N. 80° E. They rest 

 upon a wall inclined 70° N., and point down the mountain towards the 

 south part of Cornish. Others in the neighborhood run S. 20° W. About 

 two thirds of the way down are other distinct striae running S. 10° E.; 

 and no others were seen on the mountain proper. On reaching the dam 

 over Mill brook, west of Windsor village, the course S. 30° E. is seen, 

 and a few N. 70° E., a very unusual direction, supposed to have been 

 the result of some local disturbance. In Weathersfield and Claremont,
