386 R. A. Dalij—Post-Glacial Warping of 



Bonavista and in the Conception Bay region had been 

 obtained. Also near Signal Hill itself evidence was 

 secured that this area had not risen, though the field notes 

 of twenty years before were seen to be essentially correct, 

 so far as the observations themselves are concerned. A 

 full explanation of the peculiar conditions on Signal Hill 

 is not easy to find. In part it may lie in the artificial 

 removal of the erratics from the general surface of the 

 hill, which was long fortified. 



Glacial Strice in Neivfoiindland and Southeastern Lab- 

 rador. — Comparatively few records of the directions of 

 glacial movement in this region have been published; 

 those made in 1920, few as they are, seem worthy of note. 

 In the following list they are indicated by locality names 

 which correspond to" numbers entered on the map. 



Range of Dii-eetions. Mean Direction. 



1 Port-anx-Basques S.20°— 40° W. S.30° W. 



3 Stephenville S.65°— 80°W. S.75°W. 



Three miles west of 3 S.85=AV. 



4 Curling S.85°W.— N.70°W. N.85=W. 



6 St. John's S.85°— 90°E. Due E. 



8 Shoal Harbor Due E. 



10 Lewisporte N.15° W. 



20 Flower's Cove S.55°W. 



21 Brig Bay S.55°— 65°W. S.60°W. 



17 Red Bay (Labrador) S.20°W. 



18 West Modiste (Labrador) S.15°W. 



The directions of striation shown on the map without 

 locality numbers are taken from the new (1919) geological 

 map of Newfoundland, edited by the late J. P. Howley 

 and published by the Department of Mines and Agricul- 

 ture at St. John's; and from Plate 13 of the writer's 

 1900 paper. 



So far as they go, these observations corroborate the 

 now rather common assumption of glacialists, that New- 

 foundland had its owm ice-cap or group of ice-caps, with 

 centrifugal flow for the island in general. The flow of the 

 latest glacial cover in the extreme north was, however, 

 influenced by the trough of Belle Isle Strait, where the 

 direction was southwesterly. 



Weahness of Glaciation in Eastern Neiufoundland. — On 

 Bonavista peninsula and in the Lewisporte-Twillingate 

 district, glacial drift is abundant, but in each case its
