MOOSEHEAD LAKE SYSTEM. 



133 



valley of the Keiidiiskeag and several miles south of the high hills lying 

 south of the Piscataquis River. It traverses a gently rolling plain. Its 

 length is about 12 miles 

 from Hermon Pond 

 north. 



The following- 

 named osars are situ- 

 ated between the two 

 principal branches of 

 the Moosehead Lake- 

 Penobscot Bay system. 

 The streams which 

 drained this portion of 

 the ice-sheet would naturall}^ flow into the system, but it may have been at 

 a time before the deposition of these glacial gravels. I have not yet been 

 able to make out any connection between these and the Penobscot Bay sys-

Carmel. The fence is built along tbe top of the ridg 



tern. It is probable that the osars next to be named were deposited at a time 

 when the ice had receded to the north of the Piscataquis River, and that 

 therefore they are inde2Dendent systems deposited late in the Ice period.
