the habit of the glaciers of the region. These little terraces were 

 so pronounced that one instinctively follows them in walking 

 upon the upper surface of the glacier if his course lies at all 

 coincident with them.

 curve of the eastern lobe, showing the projection of the upper layers over the lower 

 and the attendant phenomena. 



An inspection of the base of the glacier as shown in Fig. 61 

 gives emphasis to the remark already made respecting the 

 smallness of the debris in the ice and the absence of a lateral 

 moraine. Following the face to the right, however, it will be 

 seen that at a point where the border curves about to form the 

 terminal face of the glacier, as shown in Fig. 60, there is a nota- 

 ble accumulation of debris in the form of a terminal moraine. 

 This, however, is deceptively large, as the mass of the ridge is 

 composed of ice concealed beneath a veneering of rock rubbish.
