of the moraine;" and that further,so far as lam familiar with the region, 
there are not "many places'" In New Jersey where there are such 
accumulations of bowlders that "the moraine could well be brought 
further south than it is plotted, without doing violence to the facts." 
That there are "abundant accumulations of bowlders and till" south of 
the moraine is certain; but that they are such as to make it possible to 
bring the moraine further south is not true of any single locality w'th 
which I am fiimiliar. Since, however, I have not seen the moraine and 
drift outside It at every point, I will not attempt to say that professor 
Wright's statement is necessarily wrong. But the criterion for the 
position of the moraine is something else than ''such abundant accumu- 
lations of bowlders and till." R. D. Salisbury. 
Remarks on Mr. Andrew C. Lawson's Sketch of the coufital topoqra- 
phy of the north side of Lake Superior with special reference to the aban- 
doned strands of Lake Warren. (20th Ann. Report Geol. Survey, Minne- 
sota.) 
P. 274. — Terrace bay — "Recognized as early as 1847" (by Logan — Re- 
port Geol. Sur., Canada). 1st. Logan's terraces are three miles below 
the Petits Ecrits, sixty miles east from Terrace bay of Lawson. 3d. Lo- 
gan saw them in 1846, not 1847, and described them in his Report of 
Progress for the year 1846-7, page 35. 
The same terraces are beautifully represented in Aga-siz's Lake Super- 
ior, /ro?iti&ptece, and described at p. 66, as Riviere a la Chienne (Dog 
river of Lawson). 
In Agassiz's Lake Superior, there are represented other terraces at 
Toad river (Riviere aux Crapauds), between Montreal river and Michi- 
picoten (page 54). I suppose ^Ir. Lawson calls it Sand river? J. M. 
Don Pedro de Sat.terain y Leguarra, Head Geologist of the Span- 
ish West Indies, died at Havana, the 20th of February last. Born at 
Trun on the river Bidasoa, Bicaye, the 12th of March, 1835. Salteraln 
was appointed mining engineer in 1858, by the Spanish government, 
and had charge of the celebrated copper mines of the Rio Tinto, near 
Huelva. Then he was transferred to the famous quicksilver mines of 
Almaden, and three years after he was sent to Cuba, as chief engineer 
of the Oriental district of mines. He became inspector-general of mines, 
and had charge of all the geological and mining surveys of the islands of 
Cuba and Porto Rico. His paper: "Breve resena de la Mineria de la isla 
de Cuba," 1883, gives a good description of all the mines existing in Cuba. 
His geological works, which are the most important, are: first, a de- 
scription of the "Juridiciones de la Habana y Guanabacoa" with an 
excellent geological map of the environs of Havana, Madrid, 1880; and 
second, his complete geological map of Cuba, scale 1:2,000,000, 1869-83, 
published with Don Manuel Fernandes de Castro, Director of the Geo- 
logical map of Spain, in the Boletinde la Comision del Mapa Oeologico 
de Esp<ina, Madrid, 1884. Besides Salterain wrote several papers on 
the earthquakes of Cuba. He was a modest and most exact observer.
