Close by are to be seen large Blocks carried away from 

 the Alps and left here by the moving Glacier. The whole 

 surface of these boulders is furrowed by scratches which 

 always appear on stones that have been carried down by 



a Glacier. They prove, that these stones were moved on 

 by glaciers and not by torrents. 



IX o. & shows an area full of grindings, furrows 

 and scratches made by the Glacier of the ReilSS, under 

 which the rocks were, as it moved along. The indentations 

 displayed were caused by the sharp edges of the boul- 

 ders which the Glacier dragged along in its course. 



IVo. 9. Various smaller and larger beginnings 

 of such Mills. 



IVo. 1O is a Glacier-Mill with a big Mill-stone 

 of Granite from the Gotthard. 



IVo. 11 is the finest and largest Glacier -Mill 



that has ever been found. The mould covering it was 



removed in 18751876. The diameter of the Mill is 

 26' 25", its depth 29' 53". At the bottom several holes 

 of Mills between the crevasses of the rock will be per- 

 ceived. Leaving this grand workshop of nature we enter 



into the Relief Gallery.

Though not belonging to the scientific part of natuial 

 history, this model interests all the visitors of the Glacier 

 Garden thanks to its faithful reproduction of the romantic 

 Muota valley and of the positions occupied by the Russian 

 and French armies on the 1 st of Oct. 1799. 



The following is a short account of this memorable day.
