in. the nen and Terrace Periods, 469 
have cut through it, failed to reveal other bowlders of this 
kind. 
One or both sides of this kame are generally covered by the 
alluvium of the upper terrace; but its top usually projects in 
a long, rounded ridge, 10 to 80 feet above the tines highest 
plain. At one place, east of Hartland Depot, this plain has 
been swept away from both sides, and the kame forms a con- 
apne steep ridge 125 feet in height. Wherever it is 
xposed, it is readily recognized py the pebbles which strew its 
Pare and which are ve ry rarely found in the ordinary modi- 
fied drift of the valle ey. 
he most important feature of this kame, if we compare it 
with others in New Hampshire, is, that along its entire extent 
it constitutes a single continuous ridge, which runs by a very 
direct course nearly in the middle of the valley, having no out- 
lying spurs, branches, parallel ridges, or scattered hillocks of the 
same material associated with it. In calling it continuous from 
Lyme to Windsor, however, it is not meant to imply that it is 
now entire, since it has been frequently cut through and con- 
siderable portions swept away by the main river and by tribu- 
tary streams; but that so much of it remains as to make it 
certain that it , Snealy formed an unbroken ridge. The por- 
tions now separated by gaps always lie in a continuous line. 
Probably a aime ridge once existed along the vole ey south- 
ward, though now shown by only a few fragme These 
occur in Cha ee pata Springfield eat and the 
e r as it occupied the main valley, but the escarp- 
nts thus formed remain at the mouth of the valley of C 
River, ets 100 to 200 feet high. On the south side of Saxton’s 
iver a ecasioneies art of its delta remains, and the upper 
terrace is increased in ceieht by this cause for two miles south. 
The poate of this delta by Saxton’s River has formed a 
most interestingly terraced basin, situated less than a mile south 
from Bellows Falls Junction. On both sides of this river, and 
crossed by a voles is an interval about one fourth of a mile in 
diameter. Around this on all sides are ranged terraces, which 
rise in succession like the seats of an amphitheater, the highest 
on the northwest being 220, and on the south 200 feet above 
the arena below. They do not, bowever, show a perfect regu-
