Consequences of the Glacial flood. 127 
The cluster of kettle-holes at the mouth of Sluice-way Brook 
may be looked upon as a case similar to those of the great de- 
peesons just mentioned. For the large irregularly-outlined 
ettle-holes making the center are much like a small example 
of a Pine-Marsh depression with kettle-holes bordering it. It 
is probable that in the Glacial era the course of Mill River 
from Centerville southward was a straight one right through the 
deep kettle-hole area, where the violent waters of Sluice-way 
brook struck (see map); and that the eastward bow-shaped 
bend of the present stream at Augurville, was a consequence 
of the depositions of drift, which forced the Mill River chan- 
nel to a more eastward position. 
CoNCLUSION, 
to the bay by the depositions of the plain, only fragments of 
hg survive in the Beaver Pond and Pine Marsh depres- 
ons. 
A westward set in the water and its depositions would have 
resulted from the earth’s rotation, and either through this 
means or some other the river was forced to take its Garant 
eastward channel against the sandstone hills of the “Quinnt- 
plac” Ridge. The Beaver Pond and Pine Marsh depressions, 
after their isolation, continued to be filled full with waters 
from the flood until maximum flood was reached, and they 
remained deep depressions, but shallowed in part by sands, ~~ : 
because of the river-like discharge of their waters, one into 
est River, the other into Mill River. These depressions and : : : 
the kettle-holes were one in origin and history.
