driimlin (Sk) next, as certain features connected with it will aid us 

 in other reconstructions. The location of this drumlin is made clear, 

 as already noted by the peculiar protuberance back of West Beach 

 northwest of Strawberry Hill, by the occurrence of large bowlders 

 along the shoreline at this point, and by the historical evidence. 

 That the drumlin was small is indicated by the fact that it has been 

 completely removed, although in a relatively sheltered position, and 

 by the further evidence that this removal was accomplished mainly 

 by the harbor waves, it being stated by those who remember the 

 drumlin that the eastern slope was not cliffed, while the western face 

 was a distinct marine cliff. The last remnant of this drumlin was 

 removed by man in recent years. The location and size of Skull 

 Head drumlin are believed to be essentially correct. 



An examination of the great southeast cliff on Strawberry Hill 

 shows that the cliff was formed by waves coming from the southeast, 

 and not from the northeast, the direction of the present wave attack. 

 The fact that a sharp angle on the cliffed drumlin projects forward 

 on that part of the hill which would be most exposed to the direct 

 attack of the waves had no other drumlin existed in front of it to protect 

 it, confirms the opinion that the restoration of a drumlin must be 

 made in the vicinity of the shallow area off-shore known as Straw- 

 berry Ledge. This we have called the Strawberry Lost Drumlin 

 (SL) . x^s will appear later, the former presence of a drumlin at this 

 point accounts for the northeastern angle (recently blunted by excava- 

 tions for road material) of Strawberry Hill, the small amount of 

 clifiiing on the north side of the hill, the eastward curve of the beaches 

 northeast of the hill, the direction of the splendid southeast cliff, and 

 a certain feature of West Beach to be considered in the next paragraph. 

 Whether the shallow area at Strawberry Ledge has any connection 

 with the Strawberry Lost Drumlin we are unable to say, but that the 

 drumlin must have been located near this spot seems clear. 



x\s has already been noted. Skull Head drumlin (Sk) was apparently 

 not cliffed on the east, or was so slightly cliffed as not to attract the 

 attention of persons who did notice the cliffing on the west. Yet this 

 drumlin must have occupied a position fairly well exposed to the 

 waves of the Atlantic, unless some protection from those waves was 

 afforded by drumlins or beaches farther east. It should be noted
