56 ICE RECESSION IN NEW ENGLAND 



5713-5800. — Continued 



exceptionally thick varves agree in all three valleys 

 (cf. p. 54). 



5734, in the Connecticut and Merrimac Valleys, is cer- 

 tainly much thicker than in the Hudson Valley 

 and perhaps records a drainage, but this is not 

 quite certain; it might mark an unusually hot 

 summer. 



5740, at locality 45, and 57S3, in the Hudson Valley, are 

 abnormally thick. 

 5801-5879.— The curves (both "15 N. H.," and ''15 Vt."), though 

 from separate valleys, correspond comparatively 

 well. The agieement between the two New Hamp- 

 shire curves is good. 



5838 and 5845, at locality 49 in the Merrimac Valley, 

 measure 2 and 2% inches (5 and 7 cm.). They 

 consist of coarse sand containing pieces of clay. 



5862, 5863, 5870, 5878, and 5879, in the Connecticut Valley, 

 are evidently drainage varves. At locality 34 

 varves 5870, 5878, and 5879 are respectively 12, 8, 

 and 11 inches (30, 21, and 28 cm.) thick. 

 5880-6000. — The correspondence between the Connecticut and 

 the Merrimac curves is fairly good. 



5881, at locality 49, measures 4^ inches (11 cm.). It 

 consists of coarse sand containing pieces of clay. 



59°7- 59*6, 5974, and 5991, in the Connecticut Valley, may 

 represent drainages. Varves 5907 and 5916, at 

 locality 34, are 7 and 12 inches (18 and 30 cm.) 

 thick respectively. At locality 32, varves 5973 

 and 5974 consist of quicksand and measure 7 and 

 11 inches (18 and 28 cm.). 



5954 (or 5955?), at locality 49, consists of coarse sand and 



is 5>i inches (13 cm.) thick. 



6001-6200. — The correspondence between the two curves is 



fairly good. Varves 6043. 6074. 6137, and 6168 are 



too thick in the Connecticut Valley (lower "16 Vt.-
