GLACIAL DRIFT. 269 



A moraine runs np the hill, N. 80° E. from the boulder, containing many 

 large blocks. About 600 or 800 feet higher they average 12 by 13 by 

 15 feet. A few hundred feet below the Pequawket is another mass 31 

 by 18 by 21 feet. 



There is another one called the Washington Boidder, represented in a 

 heliotype. It is about a mile north-east from Conway centre, near Pine 

 hill. Its dimensions may be expressed by about 30 feet high, 40 long^ 

 and 25 high. It is one of the notable objects of Conway, and is com- 

 posed of the granite for which the town is famous. It cannot be shown 

 to have travelled far. 



Bartlctt Boulder. This is not so noted for its size as position. It has 

 the typical shape of glaciated stones, — 15 feet long, 12 feet wide, 10 feet 

 high, — and rests upon four smaller blocks. The entire assemblage rests 

 on stratified sand: hence it was moved to its present position at the time 

 of the melting of the ice. It is represented in a heliotype. 



Ordination Rock. This is in Tamworth, west of the centre village, 

 and has a flat top, reached by artificial steps, and is surmounted by a 

 monument. It is 30 feet long, 30 feet wide, 12 high, and composed of 

 Conway granite. It came from the north or north-east. 



Flume Boulder. The photograph of the boulder suspended over the 

 Lincoln flume, Volume 2, page 157, illustrates far better than words how 

 this fragment happened to be caught, and now serves the useful purpose 

 of keeping the walls of the chasm apart, and of affording amusement to 

 thousands of summer visitors. No further description is needed above 

 that already given. 



Waterville. Several large boulders must be added to the list of 

 attractions for this locality. Near Greeley's are some 8 feet high, of 

 the celebrated ossipyte. Near Mad river are large granite blocks. The 

 largest is just above the mouth of Greeley's Branch, or at the Swasey- 

 town falls, 43 feet long, 25 wide, and 20 high. One lower down is 33 

 feet long, 27 wide, and 25 high. They are of Conway granite. 



Other Large Boulders. 



On crossing from Rloultonville, in Ossipee, to the sources of Lovell's river, we ob- 

 serve a fragment of Conway granite near the height of land, 30 feet long, 27 feet wide 

 18 feet high at the south end, and 10 feet high at the north end. There are no ledges
