MODIFIED DRIFT ALONG CONNECTICUT RIVER. 
59 
It will be seen that this list embraces the most conspicuous terraces 
below the highest plains. 
The formation of the terraces has taken place 
by excavation of a vast deposit that filled the valley level with these upper 
plains; and it might happen that at some period in the deepening of the 
channel the river would hold nearly the same height for a longer time 
than usual, after which the deepening might go on rapidly again, leaving 
the broad flood-plain then formed to be shown only by remnants, as in 
this series. 
At the least, it cannot be doubted that this is the true ex- 
planation of its most notable portions, as for the eighteen miles through 
Brattleboro’ and southward, and for eight miles south from Windsor.
