In the harbor the following are approximate heights of these hills 
forming its islands, as shown on a contoured map published by the 
United States Coast Survey: Great Brewster, 100; Peddock’s island, 
comprising four lenticular hills, that most north-east being 70, the 
next 120, one-half mile south-west from these 60, and at the south- 
west end, 100; Bumkin island, 100; Prince’s Head and Sheep islands, 
each about 80; Grape island, east hill, 60, west hill, 75; Raccoon 
island, 40; Nut island, 60; Moon island, 90; Moon Head, 25; 
Thompson’s island, 50; Lovell’s, George’s, Gallop’s, Rainsford, Gov- 
ernor’s, Castle, and the two Spectacle islands, each about 75; Long 
island, in three hills, that at the north, 75, at the middle, 100, and at 
the southwest, 60; and Deer island, which also has three lenticular 
hills, at the south, 90, east of the hospital, 50, and at the north-east 
shore, 60. 
it has been stated that the trend of these lenticular hills and the 
striation of the ledges are approximately parallel. In the area 
bounded by a line twenty miles inland from the coast, and thence 
reaching to the west side of the valley of the Connecticut river, the 
course of the striae and of the longer axis of these hills is nearly due 
south, varying from south-south-east to a few degrees west of south. 
Near the sea-board, however, we find both considerably deflected 
toward the east, and in this vicinity the trend of the lenticular hills 
is almost invariably south-east or east-south-east. In the western
