The moraines of the last Ice Age are, as might 
naturally be expected, more clearly marked, and 
have greatly determined the scenery of the district. 
The lateral moraine, as already mentioned, forms 
the low range of hills on the west of the lake, and 
separates it from the Sihl. 
The outermost terminal moraine of the last Ice 
Age is perhaps that at Kilhvangen, below which is a 
mass of fluvio-glacial deposit, forming the so-called 
Wettingerfeld. 
The next termina,! moraine is just below Schlieren. 
Then comes the great moraine of Zurich; its highest 
points are the MuggenbUhl, the hill of the Botanic 
Garden, the Lindenhof, the quarter known as Winkel-

the lake must therefore have formerly stood at
