Art. I.—Evidences of Glacial Action on vi Seip Mountain 
ummits; by Epwarp HuncERrForp. 
THERE are in Vermont five peaks belonging to the Green 
Mountain range, which rise to an elevation of more than four 
thousand feet. In the order of position, commencing on the 
north, we have first Jay Peak, 4018 feet; Mount Mansfield, 4430 
— Camel’s H , 4088 feet ; Lin coln Mountain or Potatoe 
Hill 
, 4078 feet; and Killington Peak, 4221 feet above tide. The 
elevations are given on the authority of Prof. Guyot. 
In my recent excursions to several of these ese summits, I have 
been able to study the evidences of glacial action at those ele- 
vations, and to accumulate a number of observations, beyond 
those which have been alluded to by others ; so that we are 
now placed in a situation to review and sum up the principal 
facts, bearing upon the question of the height to which such 
action has extended in this state, and upon that of the proba- 
ble tea of the accumulation of ice and snow in the gla- 
cial e 
over the east part of the Pat Gin oe a from north 40°
