fined, ending abruptly as in the diagram. They do not 
die out at either end but are fairly represented. Lying 
next above these is the second division, averaging four 
feet thick, and consisting of a dozen or so layers of uni- 
form thickness, very regular and everywhere parallel 
to each other. Above this is another division of about 
the same thickness and parallel to it. It shows no 
trace of any layers but is homogeneous throughout. 
The material of both the last divisions is very fine and 
was deposited in very still water. 
At the right of the larger elevation will be noticed a 
smaller one. The two upper divisions follow all the in- 
equalities of the ground. 
How the lower division was dressed off so sharply on 
the top and side it is hard to say. It could not have 
been so shaped, at least not on the sides, by floating 
ice ; besides, ice would have been quite apt to float there 
larger or smaller stones and drop them. After this part 
was formed, if then the waters had become comparative- 
ly quiet, the fine material of the group of layers which 
make the second division, might have been deposited, 
times of greater activity alternating with those of rest, 
and, last of all, a very long continued condition such as 
now exists in the present bay, would suffice to deposit 
the broad top layer. 
After that was completed, the whole region must have 
been elevated to its present position very rapidly, or else 
the fine material of the top, sides and the lower hillock, 
would not be so nearly of a thickness. 
The point must have been several hundred feet under 
water, for these same layers can be traced upon the 
neighboring hills to that height. Hverywhere they fol- 
low the inequalities of the surface, and so far as I have 
been able to observe, maintain nearly or quite the same 
thickness.
