15 feet above sea level, and in its deepest part —near its head — 
is 150 feet below sea level. Perfectly developed glacial grooves 
and striae, with direction coincident with the axis of the valley, 
extend for quite a distance along the south border of the lake. 
The outlet channel is cut into solid rock, and averages from 
four to five feet in depth, with a U-shaped cross-section. The 
overflow passes over a low point in the divide between the lake 
and fjord on the southwest side of the valley. The divide is 
highly glaciated, and stands 25 to 50 feet above the lake level. 
As can be seen from Fig. 3, the portion of lake near the outlet 
is dotted with moutonnées rising to a slight elevation above the 
waters and forming a group of small islands in the lake. 
Rowlders of varying dimensions are found poised in various 
positions over the tops of nearly all the largest roches mouton- 
nées in this valley. It will be further observed that the valley 
axis, AB of map, is approximately coincident with a westward 
advance in the general glacial movement over the peninsula. 
Further, that the largest and deepest water bodies are located in 
the northwestern portion of the peninsula, which portion is shown 
in a subsequent part of this paper to have been subjected to a 
period of more or less intense local glaciation. On the high 
hilltops forming the southwestern limits of the valley are found 
remnants of once larger local glaciers. 
- As aclass, the valley lakes observed on the peninsula, range in 
size from something over a mile in length down to the smallest 
size basin. In outline, some were saucer-shaped—width and 
length about equal—but generally the length greatly exceeded the 
width, and when so found were invariably characterized by irregu- 
larity of outline. They varied from a few feet to 150 in depth, and 
in all cases their circumferences were marked by rock in place, 
proving them to be true vock-basin lakes. With but few excep- 
tions they are prevailingly shallow and filled, more or less around 
their edges, with rock fragments derived from the valley sides, 
due to shattering by frost. Approximately eight to ten feet 
above summer water level and along the edges of parts of a few 
of the larger lakes were noted slender but perfectly formed
