SURFACE GEOLOGY. 
Courses of Stria about Winntpiseogee and Squam Lakes. 
On the North-East and East Side. 
Nearly all of these are deflected easterly from the prevailing course of the ice-sheet; 
probably because of its earlier melting in the basin of Ossipee lake. 
In Flolderness. 
Road over Squam mountain, S. 60° E. 
In Sandwich. 
At west line on road to Ashland, S. 80° E. 
Near north-east corner of Squam lake, N. 
85° E. 
At north foot of Red hill, N. 80° E. 
In Moultonborough. 
Near south-east town line, S. 55° E. 
In Tuftonborough. 
Near Melvin Village, S. 25° E. 
At Tuftonborough Corner, N. 70° E. 
Two miles south of last, N. 80° E. 
One half mile farther south, E. 
(The two last in Tuftonborough are on the 
hills west of Lower Beech pond.) 
Ln Wolfeborough. 
West side of Trask hill, S. 85° E. 
Summit of Trask hill, S. 50° E. 
One mile north-east from Wolfeborough 
Centre, S. 40° E., and E. 
Porcupine ledge, S. 60° E. 
Ln Brookfield. 
North corner of town, S. 55° E. 
Two miles south of last, S. 70° E. 
North side of Tumble-down Dick, S.75°E. 
On the West and South-West Side. 
These show the general direction of the ice-current, coinciding nearly with the longer 
axis of Winnipiseogee lake. 
Ashland village, S. 40° E. 
Center Harbor, commonly S. 40° E. 
In New Hampton. 
Above clay-bed, two miles south-east from 
Ashland, S. 35° E. 
Harper’s hill, S. 50° E. 
New Hampton centre, S. 40° E. 
New Hampton village, S. 50° E. 
In Meredith, 
Hill north-west from Meredith Village, S. 
40° E. 
Meredith Centre, S. 25° E. 
Highest hill, Meredith Neck, S. 40° E. 
Ln Gilford. 
North part, near lake, S. 35° E. 
Hill north-east from Lake Village, S. 35° E. 
North-east part, near lake, S. 4o° E. 
In Alton. 
Ridge west of Alton Bay, S. 40° E. 
Town line, east of Alton Bay, S 40° E. 
In New Durham, commonly S. 40° E. 
The departure of the ice-sheet along the Merrimack and Pemigewasset 
valley appears also to have proceeded somewhat more rapidly than upon 
the higher land on its east side, so that over Winnipiseogee and Squam 
lakes the drainage from the melting ice was outward both to the east and 
west.
