however, curve outwards to the sides of the valley before they 
reach the end of the glacier. At least one lateral glacier joins 
the main one on the south, bringing in an additional moraine, 
but this is also carried to the side of the glacier before advanc- 
ing far down the valley. On the south side also there is an 
interesting ‘““hanging”’ glacier descending very steeply from the

side of the valley looking southwesterly. The point of the glacier at the left is near 
the center of the valley, and:a face similar to that turned toward the observer is pre- 
sented beyond this point looking southeast. he dark band at the bottom is the talus 
slope and the bowldery layer of the glacier. ‘The rather sudden change in the upper 
surface slope of the glacier is probably due to a terrace of rock extending across the 
valley and appearing at the edge of the glacier at the right. By a little care it will 
be seen that the bedding lines on the face of the glacier are continuous with those on 
the upper surface. The little steeply-descending glacier on the face of the snow- 
capped plateau in the background is the ‘“‘ hanging ” glacier referred to in the text.

measurements of its slope indicate that it reaches an inclination 
of twenty to thirty degrees in its steeper parts, but, singularly 
enough, it was not greatly crevassed, not even where it bent over 
the brow of the plateau. 
South Point glacier stops short of Bowdoin Bay by perhaps 
half a mile. The interval is occupied by gravelly and bowldery
