Kame Ridges of Hingham. 
The Kame Ridge of Accord Pond . — The first of the kame ridges 
to which I call attention is to be found on the northern and north- 
eastern borders of Accord Pond. This ridge, which was approxi- 
mately continuous, has been distinctly divided into two parts, a 
considerable area having been dug away so that two transverse 
sections are presented, separated from each other about 350 feet. 
The direction of the kame at this place was about southeast as 
shown by a line between the two exposed faces. Following the 
southern portion it is found to skirt the pond in a somewhat irreg- 
ular course varying from east to southeast, and ends just before 
reaching Hingham street in Rockland. The northerly part of the 
kame, commencing from where it was dug away, follows a some- 
what serpentine course, first along the margin of the pond, south- 
east, and then in a northerly direction towards Whiting street. 
After crossing this street it continues in a northerly direction about 
150 feet, then changing and running westerly about 320 feet where 
it terminates. The whole length of the ridge is somewhat over 
five-eighths of a mile. 
It is a good example of a typical kame ridge, and though gener- 
ally wooded, is sufficiently open at the summit to allow of the free 
passage of pedestrians. 
Karnes of Gushing Street . — Proceeding from Whiting street 
north, through Cushing street, the range called Breakneck Hills is 
at first seen at a considerable distance on the left, but these eleva- 
tions gradually approach the road, and at about half a mile from 
Whiting street terminate quite near to it. No sooner are these 
passed than there looms up on the right side of the way in rear of 
a farmhouse and adjoining fields, a high and very remarkable ridge, 
which is well worth ascending, not only to study its construction, 
but because it affords quite an extensive view from its summit of 
the Breakneck (kame) Hills and other objects. The height of this 
ridge is about 80 feet, its length about 1200 feet, and the slope 
from the top, especially on the west side, very steep. 
A short distance north from the farmhouse mentioned, a great 
kame ridge crosses the street, the transverse sections exposed by 
digging the roadway through, rising high on each side. These show 
the base of the ridge to be about 200 feet wide. Its greatest height
