tions are to be seen for miles around. Several of these hills and slopes occur in Deer- 

 ing, the most massive being on the east side of Wolf hill, and a southward slope from 

 the hill- top west of Chase pond. 



Three or four prominent lenticular hills were found in the edge of Bennington and 

 north-west corner of Francestown, at the north side of Crotched mountain. Others 

 lie in the east part of Francestown, north of Haunted pond. New Boston, except at 

 its east side, is well dotted with lenticular hills, of which Beard's, Clark's, and Cochran 

 hills, one close north of Mr. Solomon Dodge's house, two or three others within a mile 

 to the north-west, one north of the first saw-mill below the village, others north and 

 south-west of Cochran pond, a mile south of the village, and one less than a mile 

 north-east of Joe English hill, are typical examples. Bedford has a few of these hills, 

 the finest of which, a mile north-east of the village, is well seen from Manchester. In 

 Amherst the south slope of Walnut hill is till, which also forms three lenticular hills 

 one to two miles north-west, and several rounded masses on the south side and near 

 the top of Chestnut hill. Prospect hill in Mont Vernon, and several southward slopes 

 south and south-west of the village, belong in the same class. 



These hills are absent from the west part of Mont Vernon, most of Lyndeborough, 

 and the middle of Francestown ; but in the east part of Greenfield they are finely de- 

 veloped. Two miles north-east of Russell's crossing, till lies in rounded masses on the 

 north-west slope of Lyndeborough mountain. It also forms a smooth area of several 

 acres near its south-west summit, and is spread in extensive sheets on its south-east 

 side. 



In Wilton, Temple, Greenville, and New Ipswich, the lenticular hills are abundant. 

 Fine examples occur in the edge of Milford, two thirds of a mile east of Wilton depot ; 

 upon Perham hill, in the north-east corner of Wilton ; a mile to the north-west in the 

 edge of Lyndeborough ; several in the north-west and others in the south-west part of 

 Wilton ; four within one mile north-east of Temple village, known as FoUett, Walton, 

 Howard, and Wilson hills ; Nobby hill in Mason, one mile south of the village ; Bel- 

 lows and Campbell hills in Greenville, and another north-east of the depot ; Jefts hill 

 in New Ipswich, one mile west of Greenville, with others close south-west and one 

 half to one and a half miles north-west ; several one mile south and south-west of New 

 Ipswich village ; and three on the west side of Barrett mountain. 



A few hills of this class are found in Peterborough, being most numerous about 

 Cunningham pond ; also in Sharon, which has near its south-west corner one of the 

 finest examples seen in New Hampshire. The trend of these hills and slopes through- 

 out this county is almost invariably towards the south, or ten to twenty degrees east of 

 soutn. 



Strafford Cotmiy. No lenticular hills or slopes were found in the north part of this 

 county. Rounded masses of till occur at several places on the south-east side of the 

 Blue hills, south-east of Merrill's corner, and in prominent ridges near Strafford corner 

 and centre. In Rochester five lenticular hills were noted, the finest of them being 

 Hayes hill, now owned by Walter S. Hussey. This rises with a very regularly rounded
