contemporaneous with part of the moraine discussed above; this 
will be described next. 
{d) Extending northward from the vicinity of Como the 1700- 
foot contour marks the general course of another of these distinct 
bands of drift. The arrangement of the moraine east of Como 
has already been referred to in connection with the valley deposits; 
the valley east of Como contains much drift. Its association with 
the moraine northward is not entirely clear, though it seems evi- 
dent that part at least of the drift in this short valley is contem- 
poraneous in origin, i.e., that for a few miles here the front of the 
ice was nearly north-south. The hill just northeast of Como, 
which reaches an altitude of 1700 feet, is in the main drift-covered, 
part of which is elsewhere described as nunatak deposit (p. 388), 
an explanation not essentially at variance with moraine interpre- 
tation of the drift to the northward; I have frequently noted 
evidence of these briefer positions of the ice preceding a longer 
halt. Near the ice-front channel leading into Skaneateles Inlet 
valley this drift assumes a rather kame-like phase; in this northern 
portion the heavy part of the moraine is rather narrow and thins 
both up and down the slope. Along a line paralleled by the 
highway southward from the entrance to the Skaneateles over- 
flow channel the drift again thickens; it is probable that this 
represents another halt of the ice following a short period of 
greater melting or of less activity. 
Between this valley and the Dresserville valley is a long divide, 
rising more than 300 feet above either valley. That the ice moved 
from the west across this high ridge is shown by the arrangement 
of the moraine just described. On the west slope of the valley 
extending north from Como there is very little drift, while moraine 
is sharply developed on the opposite slope. At the northern end 
of the valley there is evidence that at a later stage a slight tongue 
of ice reached a short distance southward. 
Contemporaneous with the development of this moraine a 
dependency from the ice-sheet reached south into the Skaneateles 
Inlet valley even beyond the margin of the Moravia sheet. 
{e) Morse Mill and Sempronius lie within an east-west belt of 
moraine. In mapping the deposits of this area I have appreciated 
the influence of the Skaneateles Inlet valley, and of the valley 
between Morse Mill and Dresserville. The proximity of these 
valleys would tend to increase the development of drift through-
