  Forty-seventh 
  Report 
  on 
  the 
  State 
  Museum. 
  

  

  notably 
  Stony 
  clove, 
  Mink 
  hollow, 
  Peak-o-Moose 
  clove 
  and 
  Big 
  

   Indian 
  divide. 
  One 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  remarkable 
  of 
  these 
  features 
  is 
  

   in 
  the 
  southern 
  Catskills. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  gap 
  across 
  the 
  long 
  eastern 
  

   spur 
  of 
  " 
  High 
  Point 
  " 
  mountain. 
  It 
  is 
  known 
  as 
  Wagon 
  wheel 
  

   gap 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  conspicuous 
  feature 
  in 
  the 
  region. 
  Its 
  character 
  

   is 
  shown 
  in 
  the 
  preceding 
  figure. 
  

  

  The 
  gap 
  is 
  cut 
  across 
  the 
  spur 
  very 
  much 
  after 
  the 
  manner 
  of 
  

   a 
  high 
  railroad 
  cut, 
  but 
  its 
  bottom 
  slopes 
  from 
  a 
  divide 
  near 
  its 
  

   center. 
  Its 
  depth 
  is 
  about 
  200 
  feet. 
  It 
  is, 
  I 
  believe, 
  a 
  product 
  

   of 
  glacial 
  times 
  and 
  was 
  cut 
  by 
  Esopus 
  creek 
  while 
  the 
  valley 
  

   was 
  dammed 
  by 
  ice 
  in 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  Shokan. 
  I 
  have 
  not 
  studied 
  

   the 
  locality 
  with 
  care, 
  and 
  this 
  should 
  be 
  regarded 
  only 
  as 
  a 
  

   suggestion. 
  

  

  Respectfully 
  yours.
