ponding of the 

 water. They are 

 generally much 

 coarser in com- 

 position than typi- 

 cal kames, and as 

 a rule their knobs 

 are lower and their 

 basins shallower. 



One of the best 

 terminal moraines 

 found is on the 

 east si de of the 

 Farmington river, 

 one mile north of 

 Riverton, Conn. 

 Besides the usual 

 topography and 

 coarse composi- 

 tion of terminal 

 deposits, this one 

 is thickly covered 

 with huge blocks. 

 Another, nearly as 

 fine, was made at 

 the next halt and 

 is partly deposited 

 on a low rock ter- 

 race below Hang- 

 ing mountain, two 

 miles south of New 

 Boston, Mass.
