  Tracing 
  the 
  moraine 
  over 
  the 
  hills 
  on 
  tlie 
  east 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  vallej 
  

   it 
  is 
  found 
  at 
  Varna 
  — 
  just 
  east 
  of 
  Itliaca 
  and 
  about 
  18 
  miles 
  in 
  

   latitude 
  fi'om 
  its 
  position 
  at 
  Spencer 
  summit, 
  thus 
  proving 
  the 
  

   existence 
  of 
  the 
  ice-tongne 
  mentioned. 
  

  

  Six 
  mile 
  creek, 
  which 
  flows 
  into 
  the 
  Inlet 
  midway 
  along 
  the 
  

   delta 
  ilat, 
  is 
  also 
  in 
  a 
  preglacial 
  vallej. 
  It 
  was 
  here 
  that 
  Foote 
  

   thought 
  the 
  ice 
  tongue 
  divided." 
  

  

  A 
  study 
  of 
  the 
  complete 
  history 
  of 
  this 
  stream 
  would 
  prove 
  inter- 
  

   esting. 
  Its 
  general 
  course 
  is 
  north 
  west, 
  so 
  the 
  results 
  of 
  glaciation 
  

   are 
  very 
  different 
  from 
  those 
  seen 
  in 
  the 
  main 
  valley. 
  At 
  first 
  it 
  

   flows 
  tlirough 
  a 
  wide 
  valley 
  and 
  is 
  just 
  beginning 
  to 
  cut 
  into 
  the 
  

   country 
  rock 
  up 
  above 
  Brookton. 
  Here 
  it 
  has 
  cut 
  through 
  a 
  large 
  

   sand 
  plain 
  and 
  formed 
  an 
  amphitheatre. 
  Leaving 
  this 
  it 
  enters 
  a 
  

   very 
  narrow, 
  winding 
  gorge 
  where 
  it 
  has 
  cut 
  into 
  the 
  side 
  of 
  the 
  

   old 
  valley 
  ; 
  emerging 
  from 
  this, 
  over 
  a 
  40 
  foot 
  fall, 
  it 
  is 
  cutting 
  

   through 
  a 
  drift 
  and 
  clay 
  filled 
  valley 
  and 
  suddenl}' 
  enters 
  a 
  second 
  

   narrows 
  for 
  the 
  same 
  reason 
  as 
  before 
  ; 
  then 
  after 
  winding 
  through 
  

   another 
  drift 
  filled 
  region, 
  it 
  flows 
  through 
  its 
  old 
  gorge 
  from 
  

   which, 
  for 
  a 
  short 
  distance, 
  it 
  has 
  almost 
  completely 
  removed 
  the 
  

   drift 
  and 
  is 
  cutting 
  into 
  the 
  country 
  rock 
  along 
  one 
  side 
  or 
  the 
  

   other 
  ; 
  then 
  it 
  emerges 
  upon 
  the 
  delta 
  flat. 
  

  

  Two 
  interesting 
  features 
  of 
  this 
  stream 
  are 
  : 
  (1) 
  that 
  the 
  terminal 
  

   moraine 
  crosses 
  it 
  several 
  miles 
  north 
  of 
  where 
  it 
  crosses 
  the 
  main 
  

   valley, 
  and 
  is 
  very 
  much 
  smaller 
  here 
  ; 
  (2) 
  the 
  presence 
  of 
  a 
  small 
  

   dyke 
  of 
  eruptive 
  rock 
  crossing 
  the 
  gorge 
  just 
  above 
  the 
  falls 
  

   mentioned.^ 
  

  

  All 
  along 
  the 
  lake 
  valley 
  are 
  numerous 
  streams 
  — 
  the 
  smaller 
  

   being 
  entirely 
  post-glacial, 
  but 
  all 
  of 
  the 
  larger 
  creeks 
  are 
  either 
  in 
  

   pi'eglacial 
  beds, 
  or 
  are 
  post-glacial 
  at 
  their 
  mouths 
  and 
  preglacial 
  

   above. 
  

  

  Salmon 
  creek 
  is 
  a 
  tvoe 
  of 
  the 
  latter. 
  It 
  enters 
  the 
  lake 
  seven 
  

  

  «/ 
  1. 
  

  

  miles 
  from 
  its 
  southern 
  end 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  side. 
  Its 
  general 
  direction 
  

   is 
  south 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  very 
  similar 
  in 
  topographic 
  features 
  to 
  Six 
  mile 
  

   creek— 
  flowing 
  in 
  a 
  very 
  broad 
  preglacial 
  valley 
  from 
  its 
  source 
  to 
  

   within 
  a 
  mile 
  and 
  a 
  half 
  of 
  the 
  lake, 
  where 
  it 
  drops 
  over 
  a 
  40 
  foot 
  

   fall 
  and 
  enters 
  a 
  ravine 
  from 
  which 
  it 
  has 
  removed 
  most 
  of 
  the
