TABULATION AND DESCRIPTION OF NEW DATA 229 



From Tyrrell : 



Port au Port, East Bay 300-400 



Bonne Bay, North Point 300-400 



All available information on the glacial geology of Newfoundland 

 favors an independent ice-cap, with radial flow.* And when we con- 

 sider the large area and mountain heights of the island; the northern 

 ]30sitioii ; exposure to ocean on all sides ; and location in the paths of the 

 cyclonic storms of America, it appears certain that the island was the 

 locus of heavy snow precipitation and a massive ice-cap — the ISTewfound- 

 land continental glacier. 



. The opinion of some Canadian geologists assigning local ice centers 

 to Gaspe, the highlands south of the Saint Lawrence, Nova Scotia, and 

 Newfoundland is quite certainly true for Newfoundland, probably true 

 for Nova Scotia, and possibly true for other highland districts, at least 

 for tlie waning stage of glaciation. 



The ice-sheets deployed widely on the land, but seem to liave been 

 inhibited by the sea, especially where the tides were strong and heavy 

 storms were frequent. 



Bibliography 



Lists of writings which have some bearing on the problems of post- 

 Glacial continental uplift, particularly on the area of New York and the 

 adjacent territory, have been published in the papers numbered 81-84 in 

 the following list. Only a very few titles from the former lists are re- 

 peated here. The present list is mostly of papers relating to Canada and 

 New England. 



Bibliographies by other authors on glacial geology have been published 

 as follows : 



On the Pleistocene of the New England coast, to the year 1899, by Upham, 

 in the paper number 52 below. 



On the Pleistocene of New P^ngland northeast of Bostoii, to 1908, by Clapp, in 

 number 74, by references. 



A very full and well annotated list of the glacial literature, relating 

 especially to the region of the Great Lakes, to 1915, is given in Leverett and 

 Taylor's monograph, number 80. 



The publications of the Geological Survey of Canada, up to 1908, are listed 

 and classified in detail in the two volumes of the Survey entitled "Index to 

 Reports."
