ing beneath the surface of the drift (fig. 7). According 

 to this interpretation Eowe Hill may quite readily be 

 regarded as representing a remnant of the preglacial 

 divide between East and West Sixmile Creeks, extending 

 in the general direction of a line from Rowe to Spur 

 Hills (Z', fig. 2). This brings us to the consideration of: 



III. THE RELATIONS OF MOSS AND SPRING CREEKS AND 

 ROWE HILL. 



The largest north-flowing tributary of Moss Creek 

 occupies the beginning of a glacial outflow channel (the 

 Moss Creek Channel) the existence of which was first

 preglacial valleys of East and West Sixmile. V-d, preglacial valley of West

made known by Tarr (6). The probable position of the 

 ice front when this channel was formed and in use is 

 indicated in fig. 9. The glacial drainage together with 

 the drainage of the upper slopes of the valley to the north 

 probably developed the present Moss Creek valley 

 through the drift. At this time probably the maximum 

 volume water was flowing around the margins of the ice 

 lobes and no doubt made its way into the upper portion 

 of the Owego Creek Valley (0', fig. 2) through one of the 

 larger marginal channels of Davies Hill, possibly through 

 the one containing the fossil falls which Rich has 

 described. 



The post-glacial flow of Moss Creek has since carved 

 a ravine in the bottom of this glacial outflow channel to
