ridges of gravel descend from high lands into the valley above the 
village, and cross it at an acute angle.) 
5. In connection with the paper published by me in the Proceedings 
two years ago, Mr. Clarence King surmised that a terminal moraine 
appeared at Falmouth, Wood’s Holl, and in the Elizabeth Islands, 
west of Martha’s Vineyard. (See p. 62, Dec. 20, 1876.) Mr. Up- 
ham’s investigations have since placed this beyond question. The 
conclusions to which he comes are partly published in the third vol- 
ume of the New Hampshire Report, but the later investigations 
are yet to appear. 
The results, briefly stated, are that a distinct terminal moraine 
can be traced from the hills south-east of Town Cove, at Orleans 
village, through Brewster Station, West Brewster village, in the 
north-western part of Dennis, through the centre of Yarmouth, a 
mile south-west of Yarmouthport, Barnstable village, and West 
Barnstable, from one to three miles south of Sandwich village, West 
Sandwich, and North Sandwich. ‘There it forms a right angle, pass- 
ing from one to three miles east of Monument village and Poceasset, 
through North Falmouth, West Falmouth, and Wood’s Holl. The 
Elizabeth Islands are nothing else than the back of the moraine 
emerging above the water. At West Brewster and from Follen’s 
pond, two miles west of German’s hill, in Yarmouth, as through Fal- 
mouth and the Elizabeth Islands, the material is very coarse. In 
Sandwich, the hills, 200 to 300 feet high, are of modified drift with 
few boulders. (A tongue of the glacier from the Merrimack valley 
seems to have pushed down across Massachusetts Bay to the Cape, 
such as pushed out from Lake Erie up the Maumee river, and in 
Wisconsin up Green Bay. ‘The Andover series of kames prolonged 
would strike Plymouth.) This line of moraine is, according to Mr. 
- Upham, represented along the south shore of Rhode Island, from near 
Point Judith to Watch Hill, in Fisher’s and Plum Islands, and along 
the north shore of Long Island, as far west as to Port Jefferson. 
According to Mr. Upham the continuous terminal moraine appears 
first in Sankaty Head and Saul’s Hills in Nantucket, on Tuckernuck 
Island, Chappaquiddick Island, and Vineyard Haven on Martha’s 
Vineyard, in the prominent hills south-west to Gay Head, reappearing 
again in No Man’s Land, and Block Island, which is a remarkable 
knot of hills. On Long Island it appears at Montauk Point, thence 
to Sag Harbor and Canoe place, thence due west, to Harbor Hill at
