Glacier Moraines in Cumberland and Westmorland. 205 



possibly followed by denudations on an enormous scale, 

 such as formed the valley of the Lune and washed the deep 

 wild hills into their present form, would carry the granite 

 debris far and wide, and, rolling it into its boulder form, 

 scatter it broadcast over the country, and possibly as far as 

 the sea shore, where ice might thence become the trans- 

 porting agent. 



There is, therefore, a very marked difference from a 

 glacial point of view between the granite districts of Esk- 

 dale and Shap. Indeed the glacial evidences in the latter 

 case are of small importance.
