Pleistocene Geology of Moravia Quadrangle 405 
Of Local Origin. In a few localities bowlders of local origin are 
so conspicuous that special reference should be given them. For 
a few miles north and a mile or so south of Lickville, a region 
where the drift is thin, the percentage of local material is very 
large. Bearing in mind that the general movement of the ice 
here was from the northwest, and noting on the topographic map 
the rock salients southwest of Moravia, we understand how the 
Fig. 20. A bowlder clinging to the steep west wall of Skaneateles Inlet valley. 
moving ice took on such a load of local debris. Again, south of 
Locke, where the altitude reaches 1200 to 1350 feet, the large 
I amount of local material in the drift is evidenced by the stone 
I fences, as well as by the great heaps of stone gathered in tilling 
the land. Other areas, both of ground moraine bearing a high 
percentage of local bowlders, and of accumulated drift deposits 
likewise large in its amount of local sedimentary rocks, were 
observed on the sheet, but the two localities mentioned are typical.
