Connecticut, and thence northerly. (4) The Queen's river mo- 
raine in Rhode Island, as reported by Mr. Woodworth. (5) 
Prof. R. S. Tarr describes a moraine extending from cape Ann, 
Mass., westerly to near Connecticut river. (6) A possible line 
may be indicated by moraines in Wakefield and Cottonborough, 
N. H., to connect with the damming up of the Alton baj' end 
of lake Winnepiseogee, large ponds in Gilmanton, Northwood, 
and Barnstead, and the enormous sand-plains near Concord in 
the Merrimack valley. (7) Another line in some localities char- 
acteristically developed from Conway through Albany, Tarn- 
worth. Sandwich, south border of Squamlake, Newfound lalje, 
moraines south of mount Cardigain, etc. (8) Another line may 
be indicated in the morainic piles south of Gorham, Carroll, 
Whitefield, and Littleton. This may connect with similar 
deposits in Rygate, Corinth to Randolph, Vermont. (9) Per- 
haps the most important line has been located at Willoughby 
lake, Vt., thence southwesterly to Woodbury. This lies on the 
watershed between part of the Connecticut hydrographic ba- 
sin and the streams flowing into lake Champlain. In an ear- 
ly publication I imagined a line of moraines from the Andro- 
scoggin lakes in Maine across by the way of Willoughby lake 
westerly to a supposed accumulation between the Lamoille 
and Winooski rivers at lake Champlain. Since then it has 
become apparent that more than one moraine must be indica- 
ted by these mounds, since their course should be northeast 
and southwest, or at right angles to the ice movement. Doubt- 
less these particular lines may not all be verified, but their 
number cannot very well be less than has been indicated. 
There must also have been other moraines farther north, and 
I think I have seen traces of one at the south end of Memphre- 
magog lake in Newport, Vt. 
5. Very likely the distribution of the drumlins may be 
somewhat connected with morainal lines. If found near the 
margin of the ice sheet they should be distributed behind cer- 
tain prominent moraines. These hills seem to be bunched very 
extensively in Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, 
or between lines (4) and (6), and they are very rarely met 
with outside of these limits except near lake Champlain. Those 
near Boston covered by broken shells of temperate molhisea 
teach an important lesson of succession. The drumlins seem
