The tar marks made by Green I was unable to find. At P^ however I saw a 

 boulder with the mark COE. 1895, and at Pe an arrow on a block. I could not 

 find out who had made these marks. A railway labourer undertook to paint my 

 marks (P^ P^ P3 P4 ). 



The pictures on pp. 56 and 57 are prepared from photographs by Notman & 

 Son in Montreal.* That on the left shows the glacier in 1888. The ice projects as 

 far as the bushes and is still comparatively high in the arch. The one on the right, 

 which I owe to the special kindness of Messrs. Notman & Son, was taken in October, 

 1897. The standpoint in both pictures is almost the same. Again one sees the 

 high woods on the right and the girdle of lower brushwood, with the same inner 

 border as in the other picture. But the ice has retreated. A wide strip of rubbish 

 lies between it and the glacier. One can plainly recognize the great erratic 

 boulders which are marked Pi and P3 . The tongue has not only receded, but 

 is also very much shrunken. The lateral moraine on the left has at the same time 

 increased in size. Above the rocky drift which separates the upper and lon\'^er 

 glacial masses, the ice has also been retreating.
