more important, and was considerably greater on the outer base of the slide, 

 since it was resting on an inclined plane. It is believed that other anticlines 

 of local nature, especially in shales along stream valleys, have been caused by 

 landslides in a manner similar to the one which has been the subject of this 

 paper. 



This paper was discussed by H. P. dishing, J. W. Spencer, G. B.

MOUNT PELfi OF MARTINIQUE AND THE SOUFRIHRE OF SAINT VINCENT IN 



MAY AND JUNE, 1908 



BY EDMUND OTIS "HOVEY 



[Abstract] 



The paper gave the results of an expedition made to the Lesser Antilles in 

 April to July, 1908, illustrating by means of lantern slides the progressive 

 changes in 1902, 1903, and 1908 due to the great eruptions and the efforts of 

 nature and man to recover from them. 



A part of the paper is published under the title, "The clearing out of 

 the Wallibu and Eabaka, Saint Vincent, gorges," as pages 417-426 of this 

 volume. 



The last paper of the afternoon was presented orally. It was 



MULTIPLE GLACIATION IN NEW YORK 

 BY H. L. FAIR CHILD 



[Abstract] 



Evidence of pre-Wisconsin glaciation in territory surrounding New York 

 State — in Canada, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New England — implies 

 a similar history for the state. 



An accumulating body of facts points to at least two ice invasions. Such 

 features are: (1) the widespread occurrence of more or less difference between 

 the surficial and the deeper till, as shown in color, texture, composition, with 

 sometimes a distinct surface of separation; (2) weathered glaciated surfaces 

 and heavy glacial flutings merely scraped in places by a later abrasion; (3) 

 old planation surfaces which, though protected by Wisconsin till, have lost 

 their glaciated character; (4) probable stream channels not the product of the 

 latest glacial drainage; (5) physiographic features of anomalous relationship. 



No interglacial deposits have as yet been found.
