surface north and south, and a section of the beds which accor- 
ding to the facts in the gorge, underlie it. The material of the 
knoll at top is manifestly the /atest of the terrace-deposits 
The beds sina the level of the railroad were not exposed 
to view at this place. 
The second a; and-west section occurs about a fourth of a 
mile farther north. A long and deep gorge here cuts through 
the deposits of the 520. foot sa nearly to the level of the 
river, reesei the “kame” line an Panes Raga half 
a mile o the westward. Tete is less of kame-like features 
here tha in the preceding gorge Along the bottom of the 
deep cut, where a stream flows in some seasons, lay pebbles 
and some cobble-stones, aaned from layers below the level of 
the railroad track, and these souguaed for about 3800 yards 
west of the railroad. Ata higher level the material is sand or 
very fine gravel, and the latter in some parts at the to e 
sides of the cut were mostly covered by the fallen sands, so 
that the existence or absence of beds of clay could not be ascer- 
tained. A unity of structure from east to west was manifest. 
Nothing answered to the description of a kame; all was appar- 
ently of the terrace fotniatis on.
