or interlobate moraine. The same view was subsequently held 
by Dr. Dryer 
By referring to Professor Chamberlin’s description it will be 
seen that he had serious doubt as to the correctness of the diag- 
nosis. He closes the brief description with the following: “.... 
for the glacial movements on either side of the moraine appear 
to have been southerly, as judged from the prevalent trend of 
adjacent drift ridges, and therefore essentially parallel to the 
moraine, instead of being at right angles to it, as in the case of a 
true intermediate moraine.” 
The Turk hill body of drift is somewhat anomalous but is 
surely drumloidal in general character. The northern end, at 
Fairport, is divided into a few large ridges, which blend together 
southward and constitute a broad, plateau-like mass, over 900 
feet in altitude. The western boundary is a fairly continuous 
slope, with considerable water-laid drift banked against it, and 
the Irondequoit kame area flanking it opposite Fishers. The 
eastern side is more irregular and the depressions have been 
largely filled with water drift. The southern declining half of 
the drift body is also very gravelly and of irregular surface. 
East of the high mass the drumloids are numerous but smaller. 
Much of the morainic appearance on the slopes and on the 
southern half of the Turk hill mass is certainly due to sub-aérial 
erosion. The drainage is allfree. There are said to be no lakes, 
no swamps, and no sinks or kettles. 
Upon Professor Chamberlin’s map (Plate XXXIII. of the 
paper referred to) this supposed moraine is isolated, and with its 
north and south trend is quite inexplicable. It is the only 
isolated moraine depicted in New York north of the great east- 
and-west terminal moraine, and its elimination from the map 
simplifies the glacial phenomena of the region.
