had ever reached the island, evidence of its presence should have been dis- 

 cernible on the west coast, but in the short time I was there I was not able to 

 find any such evidence. 



"The presence of post-Glacial terraces is quite strong along the west side of 

 the island from Bay Saint George up to Bonne Bay, especially as looked at 

 from a boat half a mile or so oft' the shore. One terrace is about 30 or 40 feet 

 above sealevel. Above this is a rather extensive plain about 100 feet above 

 sealevel, composed on the surface of sand and gravel. The old beach on the 

 border of this plain might be 15 or 20 feet higher. . . . Other terraces ex- 

 tend 200 or 300 feet higher, and while in some places, at an elevation of, say, 

 perhaps 300 feet, I saw clear evidence of the work of the tide in cutting little 

 runnels on a steep limestone slope, I was not able to measure the exact height 

 of this beach."
