for these solid nuclei of till about which the beach deposits have 
gathered. As already noted, and as the map shows, the drum- 
lins are not evenly distributed. In Hull, in the direct line of 
the beach, like a string of beads, are Point Allerton and Straw- 
berry Hills, White Head, Sagamore Head, Hampton Hill, 
Rockland Hill (a lenticular slope of till) and Green Hill. 
Parallel with this line, on the west, is a second, including the 
drumlins of Hull Village — Thornbush and Telegraph Hills, 
Little Hog Island and Bumkin Island, this line being continued 
to the west of Nantasket in the double drumlin of the Worlds’ 
End, Planters’ Hill and Pine Hill. From either of these lines 
we pass to an area, including the Nantasket ledges and all 
that part of Cohasset and Hingham north of the railroad and 
east of Hingham Harbor, in which drumlins, or any noteworthy 
accumulations of till, are almost wholly wanting; the hard 
granite surface of the peneplain standing forth clear and naked. 
But south of the railroad, again, in the broad depressed or valley 
portion of Cohasset, the drumlins are thickly planted, greatly 
obscuring this portion of the peneplain. The series begins on 
the northwest with Turkey Hill (181 feet) and Scituate Hill 
(177 feet), two of the most typieal drumlins in the Boston 
Dasin and the eulminating points of the area to which this pa- 
per relates. Southeastward, as the map shows, the belt broad- 
ens, but the drumlins, although more numerous, are also 
smaller and very much flatter in form, being, where they reach 
the level of the principal sand plain, as in Hoop Pole and Mann 
Hills, in Seituate, not readily distinguished from it. Dut 
farther south in Scituate, we find again, in Booth Hill, a drum- 
lin of respectable height and great horizontal extent. West 
of King Street, Scituate Pond and the head waters of Bound 
Brook, and south of Turkey and Scituate Hills, no drumlins 
have been observed in Cohasset, the peneplain being here, as 
north of the railroad, but slightly encumbered by drift de- 
posits, 
The drainage of this district is a simple stury. No part of 
Tull is more than one-fourth of a mile from the salt water, and
