and Charlotte counties they must have partly over-ridden 
some of these in their passage to the Bay of Fundy, and 
were, at least, two to four hundred feet in thickness. 
Striz are found on the north-west flanks of these hills three 
to four hundred feet above the general level of the district 
to the north, over which the ice approached them. This 
district, now nearly level, or but slightly undulating, and 
extending from the interior of the province, or the central 
water-shed, to the coast hills mentioned, forms an inclined 
plane, along which the moving glaciers must have acquired 
great momentum. Passes exist in these coast hills, through 
which the glaciers sought outlet to the bay, but some por- 
tions of them must have been shoved up on the northern 
flanks of the elevations between these passes to a height — 
nearly equal to its source on the upper slopes of the central 
water-shed. These facts and others, which cannot here be 
given in detail, go to show that the glaciers of this slope 
must have been quite large, at least in this particular area. 
The coast hills referred to broke them up, however, as the 
ice passed through these gaps, as is shown by the wide 
deviations in the courses of the strize before their final dis- 
appearance on the shores of the Bay of Fundy.* 
Numerous moraines exist in the western part of the 
province which could only be formed by local glaciers 
descending from the hilly tracts into the valleys, as, for 
example, into the basin of the Chiputnecticook Lakes, or 
the valley of the Magaguadavic River, etc.” Considerable 
deviations in the courses of strize occur in the hilly district 
further east.’ Near the lower St. John, and along the Kenne- 
beckasis valley, as well as in the highland region between 
the latter and the Bay of Fundy, strie are seen running in 
various directions. The glaciers here must have been 
small and apparently independent of each other. The
