PLEISTOCENE MARINE SUBMERGENCE 65 



other localities when the receding and relatively thin ice margin 

 was passing off. 



The evidences of marine submergence of Long Island and the 

 Hudson-Champlain valley are briefly stated. The lack of marine 

 fossils in the Hudson valley, and of wave-built embankments on 

 the sand plains, are explained. A running description is given of 

 the summit shore phenomena from New York City northward; at 

 and around Covey hill, and through the St Lawrence valley. 



The summit shore features on the Vermont side of the great 

 estuary has been recently published (92). 



•BIBLIOGRAPHY 



The Pleistocene depression of the land and the postglacial uplift 

 involves wide territory of northeastern America, and a full list of 

 writings would approximate a complete bibliography oi the 

 Pleistocene geology. The following list is restricted to writings 

 which contain some reference to the static water phenomena, or 

 have some bearing more or less direct on Pleistocene land 

 deformation. 



The literature of the Ontario basin can not be entirely separated 

 from that of the Great Lakes area. A list of papers relating to the 

 glacial waters of the upper Great Lakes, up to the year 1907, is 

 given by Goldthwait in no. 23. In no. 82 Woodworth gives an 

 extended list of the older literature, to 1905, with special reference 

 to eastern and northern New York. 



Eastern Canada is in its geography and glacial history so closely 

 connected with the Champlain-St Lawrence basin that some papers 

 describing Canadian territory are included. 



Many papers relating to New England geology have direct bear- 

 ing on the diastrophic problem, but only a few papers concerning 

 the Connecticut valley are here included. 



For convenient reference the titles are arranged in six groups, 

 with a few cross references. Within each group the order is 

 chronologic by authors. 



A General ; theoretic ; land deformation 



B Lower Hudson district 



C Long Island 



D Connecticut valley 



E Upper Hudson, Champlain and eastern Canada 



F Upper St Lawrence, Ottawa valley and Ontario basin
