2) 2 pit northeast of this on Bear Hollow Farm south 
of Srake Pond, 3) 4 pit one and a quarter miles northwest of Bear 
Hollow Farm (poorly exzosed), 4) a pit three-fourths of a mile west 
of Rear Hollow Farm and a mile north of the Military Reservation, 5) 
several excavations rear a cranberry bog about half a mile southeast 
of Teaticket Villase in the west-central part of the Falmouth quad- 
rangle, and 6) a rosdeus at the north end of Pimlico Pond at the 
southwestern edge of the Sandwich quadrangle. (See Plates I and II). 
Similar clumps were noted ina pitted plain that extends across the 
Sagamore and Wareham ausdrangles west of the Cape Cod Canal. Each 
of the six localities is at the rim or edge of one of the many ket- 
tle-holes. No climps were found in the hundreds of pits along roads 
elsewhere on the smooth parts of the plain or in small pits around 
cranberry bogs that have been developed in the furrows, From this 
restricted association it is concluded that this till was once asso- 
ciated with the isoi e masses responsible for the kettle-holes. 
re composed of till is established by the 
following characteristics: 
1. Fresh rock fiour in the matrix. 
2. Abundance of ne sand particles which retain mois- 
ture after surroundizz zrai 1s dried. 
3. Angular ard Fs rock fragments up to one half a foot 
in length at two exccsures; smaller at the others. 
4, Varieties of tre rock fragments,all of which are rock types 
fourd in the Buzzards Fay moraine to the west. 
5. Lack of sorting by water, or bedding, in any clump. 
6. Compactness an coherence such that clumps stand out after 
the surrounding sand is removed. 
At pach loca lzuy 2 one to ten such clumps were found. Each

As the climps are a 
thickness, they must have come into position late in the building of 
tne plain. For several reasons it is believed horizontal pressure 
was exerted on the tii! climps as they assumed their present posi- 
tions. The uppermos ] beds of gravel beneath the clumps appear vague- 
ly wrinkled into wave-like crests in the spaces 1 to 4 feet wide be- 
tween the bases of adjacent clumps. At the Teaticket locality the
