Post-Glacial Terraces of Anticosti Island. 271 



Terraces whose elevations are considered most accur- 

 ate are designated by an asterisk. Those which have 

 been observed in the greatest number of places are the 1st, 

 2nd, 3rd, 6th, 7th, and 10th. For statement of elevation 

 at the various localities, the reader should consult the 

 diagram {-Q.g. 1). 



The 5 to 6-foot terrace has been seen at hundreds of 

 localities and in many places it is fronted by a littoral 

 barrier which in some instances is 12 to 15 feet above tide-
