coarse but apparently more compact, with some of its frag- 
ments planed and striated. The latter was probably accumu- 
lated beneath the ice-margin, while the former was dropped by 
its melting. After holding its way northward ten or twelve 
miles, reaching to a point about a mile south of North Sand- 
wich, the range turns at a right angle to a course a few degrees 
south of east. Some portions of it in this vicinity are strown 
with bowlders, but mainly, as shown on the roads which cross 
these hills southwest and south from Sandwich village, at the 
highest portion of the entire series, they consist of stratified 
gravel and sand, with bowlders rare or entirely wanting. There 
is also a change to a more simple contour, with fewer irregular 
hills and hollows. -From its angle the range extends about 
thirty-five miles to the east shore of the cape. Through Sand- 
wich and Barnstable it lies about a mile south of the railroad, 
consisting in the latter town of hills 100 to 200 feet high, appa- 
rently formed of modified drift, with frequent bowlders embed- 
ded in it and scattered upon its surface. In Yarmouth the 
series is somewhat broken, and the railroad crosses it upon 4 
sand plain a little west of German’s Hill. South of Dennis Pond 
and for one and a half miles northeast from German’s Hill to 
ter. Its further course is mostly modified drift with occa- 
sional bowlders, passing east-northeast to Mill Hill, Orleans » 
‘village, and the southeast side of Town Cove, beyond which it 
is concealed beneath the ocean. 
produced where their slopes came together north from the angle 
of their terminal line, is presented in Rocky, Manomet at 
Pine Hills, which form a gigantic ridge in the east part of Ply- 
mouth, four miles long from north to south, with a continuous 
height 300 to 400 feet above the sea. Abundant angular 
bowlders of all sizes up.to twenty feet in diameter strow its 
surface. At the north end of this ridge the sea has under- 
mined its base, forming a steep slope sixty feet in height. |

abundant large and small bowlders, nearly all of them angular,
