later, the course of the moraine-belt, commencing at the west, 

 is essentially as follows : 



Through the northern part of the province of Schleswig, it 

 lies near the eastern coast of the peninsula, having a nearly 

 north-and-south course. It jjasses through Flerisburg at the 

 head of Flensburg Fjord, and beyond this point assumes a 

 course bearing slightly more to the east, but still nearly corre- 

 sponding to the coast-line. Its outermost (southwestern) border 

 lies a little southwest of the city of Schleswig, and a few miles 

 north of Rendsburg (province Holstein), on the Eider. Con- 

 tinuing in the same general direction, the outer border lies a 

 few miles north of a line connecting Rendsburg with JSTeu 

 Minister. Its limit is here sharply defined, and easily recog- 

 nized. Beyond JNTeu Minister it bears more to the south, and 

 passes near Segeberg, Olclesloe and Molln. Here it curves 

 more to the eastward, and passes near Zarrentin, on Schall lake 

 and near Boddin. 



Eastward from this point (lat. 53° 35', Ion. 28° 4:5'), the belt 

 is. for some distance, very complex and discontinuous, at least 

 in its outer portions. The individual moraines are widely 

 separated, and the area here outlined is therefore proportionally 

 wide, and embraces much territory which is not morainic. The 

 general course of the belt however is continuous in a direction 

 south of east. Its southern border lies south of Pritzwalk 

 and Wittstock (province Brandenburg), in the vicinity of Neu 

 Ruppin, and a little north of Eberswalde (lat. 52° 45', Ion. 31° 

 30'). In the longitude of Pritzwalk and Wittstock, the main 

 developments are much farther north, although reasonably 

 strong moraines lie as here indicated. East of this point the 

 moraines reach their southernmost extension. For some dis- 

 tance east of Eberswalde their course is easterly and then bears 

 to the northward. The main developments lie north of a line 

 passing near Soldin, Friedeberg, Woldenberg, south of JSTeu 

 Stettin, and north of Konitz, from which point the outer 

 border follows a generally northeasterly course to the longitude 

 of Danzig. 



The northern border of the moraine-belt to this point, com- 

 mencing with Schleswig, follows approximately the coast line 

 as far as Rostock. Its width is therefore very great. East of 

 Rostock, the northern border lies north of Teterow, near ISTeu 

 Brandenburg, a little south of Pasewalk and north of Stettin. 

 Eastward from Stettin, its course is more or less direct to a 

 point a few miles north of Danzig. 



From the meridian of Danzig a moraine of huge propor- 

 tions swings to the southeast, thus exhibiting on German soil, 

 the phenomenon of morainic looping so abundantly repre- 

 sented in the United States. The southern border of this
