21. Ararat, in Susquehanna county. 



This is a small area lying directly east from the northern 

 half of Gibson and adjoins the Wayne county line. 



It is a very elevated region, and thus becomes the common 

 heading ground for several streams. 



The extreme northern border drains northward into the 

 Susquehanna by way of Starrucca creek ; the western por- 

 tion drains southwestward into Tunkhannock, the eastern 

 ern and southern portions by way of Lackawanna river. 



The elevation of this township as a whole is very great, 

 since the Jefferson Branch R. R. crosses the plateau at 2023' 

 above tide through a cut in morainic debris 30' deep. 



The evidence of Glacial action all over this area is abund- 

 ant in the deep pile of angular, scratched and worn bowl- 

 ders and such general debris as that seen at the summit. It 

 is true that no scratches on rocks in situ were seen within 

 the township ; but this was from lack of proper exposure, 

 since everything is covered thickly with Drift, and no ex- 

 posures of the upper surfaces were found along the roads. 



Huge masses of the Cherry Ridr/e black limestone are seen 

 scattered over all the township in such a manner as nothing 

 except Glacial ice could have effected. 



We have here positive evidence that the Mer de Glace at- 

 attained an elevation of 2100' at least in crossing the great 

 plateau.
