the highest being about 350 feet above the plain. These three beaches are corre- 

 lated with the three periods of glaciation, when the extensive glaciation on the 

 bordering mountains supplied the water to fill the basin, the first and maximum 

 glaciation corresponding to the highest beach, while the present minimum glaciation 

 marks the evaporation of the waters of the basin and the deposition of the salts, 

 while some seismic action has opened the underground outlet for the present fresh- 

 water drainage. 



The evidence of very extensive glaciation on the Bolivian plateau in very recent 

 geologic time marked by three very distinct periods is well established, but the 

 exact time relation to the Pleistocene glaciations of North America remains still 

 to be determined.
