634 THE GLACIAL LAKE AGASSIZ. 



East coast of Huilsoii Bay — Continued. 



From Richmond Gulf and Little Whale River southward to Esquimaux Harbor, many 



localities N. 80° W. to W. 



Thence to Red Head, 57 miles northeast of Cape Jones, eight localities W. to S. 75^^ \V. 



And one locality S. 55° W. 



Red Head Island N. 70° W. 



Thence southward to 40 miles south of Big River, many localities S. 40°-60° and 70 W. 



But on tlie southwest extremity of Long Island, near Cape Jones, striie bear in every 



direction from S. 70° W., around by SW. and S., to S. 40° E. 



The two prevailing directions are about S. 45° W. and S. 15° E. 



The former seems probably the older, but perhaps detiected to the south from the 

 direction of the glacial current when the ice-sheet was thickest; and the latter, 

 with further deflection southeastward, may bekmg to the closing stages of the 

 Glacial jteriod. An island off the southwest point of Long Island has three sets 



of glacial strife S. 60° W. , S. 40° W., and S. 20° E. 



From 40 miles south of Big River southward along the east coast of the south half of 



James Bay, many localities S. 30°-55° W. 



Biit in one locality, about 3 miles northwest of the Paint Hills, three sets of glacial 



striffi occur, bearing N. 75° W., S. 55° W., and S. 30^ W. 



The first probably records approximately the course of glaciation here when the ice 

 attained its greatest area, belonging thus to a striation which was chiefly ett'aced 

 by a later glacial movemeut to the southwest during the departure of the ice-sheet. 

 Again, at the Paint Hills two sets of glacial striic are found, bearing. . S. 75° W. and S. 35° W. 



And on Governors Island, at the mouth of Eastmaiu River, the course is S. 75° W. 



In the country east of Hudson Bay, extending from Richmond Gulf southward and 

 drained by the Clearwater, Great Wliale, and Big rivers, forty-nine localities (A. P. 



Low) S. 50° W. to N. (10. W. 



Excepting two places which have intersecting striir, namely — 



For the first N. 80° AV. and N. 35° W. 



For the second N. (i8° AV. and N. 50° W. 



But in a majority (thirty-six) of the localities in Mr. Low's list the bearings range 



between S. 60° W. and W. 



Marble Island, northwest part of Hudson Bay S. 15°-25° E. 



West coast of Hudson Bay : 



East side of the mouth of Churchill River S. 5°E. 



Two and a half miles east from the last S. 20° W. 



Five miles east from the moutli of Churchill River S. 15° E. 



Region of the Churchill mid Nelson rivers, Lake Winnipeg, and southwest to the Assiiiihoine. 



Churchill River: 



At Fort Churchill S. 30°-40° W. 



Four miles below the mouth of the Little Churchill River S. 20° W. and S. 80° W. 



Six and 11 miles above the mouth of the Little Churchill River S. 10°-15" W. 



Little Churchill River : 



Three localities. 4, 13, and 18 miles below Waskaiowaka Lake, respectively 



S. 40° W., s' 80° W., and N. 85° W. 



Outlet of Lower Recluse Lake, various directions from S. 15° W. to S. 50° W. 



Also W. 



Eagle Rapid, 2 miles in a straight line below the last, two sets, both distinct... S. 20° W. and W. 

 [The courses to the west, or nearly so, jirobably mark the motiou of this part 

 of the ice-sheet during the time of its greatest depth and extent, while the 

 southerly courses show its deflected motion during the final melting.] 

 Along the Nelson River: 



Third Limestone Rapid, 100 miles by the course of the river above its mouth S. 30°-50° E. 



Broad Rapid, 5 miles long, 11 to 16 miles above the last, mostly S. 50° W. 



Also - S. 1.5° W. and S. 55°-75- W. 



Thence to Midille Gull Rapid, numerous localities S.55°-80° W.
