developed on Indian Kettles point, about two miles north of 

 Hague. They were doubtless excavated by lateral or subgla- 

 cial streams when the ice filled the lake valley, because in no 

 other conceivable way could flowing water be forced into such 

 unnatural situations. 



There is great need of a good hydrographic survey of the 

 lake, and of detailed pilot charts, with soundings. They would 

 be of great service, not alone to navigators, but to science as 

 well. So far as could be learned from local fishermen, whose 

 deep trolling for lake trout gives them familiarity with the bot- 

 tom, there appear to be channels whose general trend is parallel 

 with the long dimension of the lake, and which have precipitous 

 sides, precisely like the valleys and gulches now visible. The 

 lake is relatively shallow as compared with Lake Champlain. 

 In Lake George the greatest depth is believed to be near An- 

 thony's Nose, and to reach 190 feet. Elsewhere the deep parts 

 are placed at about 100 feet, more or less. All this, however, 

 requires confirmation by soundings and with regard to the 

 physiography one cannot say to what extent the bottom of the 

 valley has been filled by drift, but the islands to which physio- 

 graphic importance has been given by the speaker are rock. 



Professor Kemp's first paper was discussed by Dr. Julien 

 and Dr. Martin ; the second by Dr. \V. P. Northrup, Professor 

 Dodge and Dr. Julien.
