so extensive as that at the Sibley quarry. At many of the 
localities where rock comes to the surface it is in such weathered 
condition that all scoring is obliterated. In the eastern part of 
the county, in the vicinity of Monroe, there are six accessible 
localities where well preserved striz may be studied. The most 
northern of these is the Sissung quarry, one and one-half miles 
southeast of Newport. Here the two sets of Wisconsin striz 
are seen, the late Wisconsin being the more abundant and averag- 
ing N. 57° W., having swung 28° further west from their direc- 
tion at Sibleys. The early Wisconsin stria maintain nearly their 
same direction, averaging 5) 37. W. As early as) £630) the 
stria at Brest and Point aux Peaux were observed and reported 
upon by Bela Hubbard, an assistant upon the first geological 
survey of the state." At the former place he found two sets 
N250° E. (S, 50° W.)and N. 65) W. At Point aux Reaux (he 
reported but one set N. 60° E. (S. 60° W.), which is to be cor- 
related with those of the second movement at Sibley’s (Iowan *). 
At the present time the only stria seen here have a general 
direction of S. 21° W., representing the early Wisconsin, the 
late Wisconsin not being exposed. Some twenty years after 
Hubbard’s observations were made Winchell took the bearings 
of stria which had been exposed by the waves at Stony Point. 
These he found to extend N. 60° W. and S. 60° W. The 
writer now finds at this locality the two Wisconsin sets, averag- 
ing N. 54° W.and S.10° W. At Brest the same two appear 
N. 57° W.andS.9 W. At the quarry of the Monroe, Stone 
Co., three miles southwest of Brest, the striz average N. 48° W. 
and 5.12 W. “Just south -of the city of Monroe at the lum 
Creek quarries, we find them running N. 61° W.and S.6° W. A 
comparison of the above data with those at Sibley’s shows that 
the late Wisconsin striez have shifted toward the west, the early 
Wisconsin toward the south, and that the supposed Iowan 
appears only at the three localities nearest the Erie shore, this 
representing the stoss side of the Monroe embossment for this 
movement. The general direction of this series is more south-
