The Tee-Sheet in XarrcKjanseff Bay. — Woodw<>rfh\^lhl ^/^O 
Carrying out the terminology familiar to ever3'^one, the P<^^^^^vy 
womiit sand-plains form a penultimate series; and the Davis- 
ville cones are antepenultimate members in this series of 
regularly progressive retreatal deposits. 
OCCUPASSPATUXET COVE STAGE. 
The depression in which lie Occupasspatuxet cove, Spring 
Green pond, and the connecting stream, has a relatively steep- 
er and higher southern than northern bank. The contrast 
between the two slopes is greatest on the east in the cove, 
where the depression is widest. The southern bank marks 
the head of the Occupasspatuxet plain and stage of ice retreat. 
On the southern shore of Spring Green pond (a body of water 
retained by a dam on the line of the road), and at its eastern 
end, the bank, having here an east and west extension, is steep 
and comparatively smooth, being but slightly gullied or cus- 
pate. Between the highway and the railroad the bank becomes 
more cuspate; and, beyond the railroad, it turns gently to the 
south of east, and maintains this course to the shore of the 
bay. Throughout, the materials are, at least at the surface, 
rather fine sands with a few pebbles and rarely a cobble six 
inches in diamater, and more rarely a fragment of sandstone 
over a foot in length. Evidentl}'^ this blulf marks the contact 
Avith the margin of the ice at a time when sluggish streams 
were carrjnng to the front little or no coarse waste. Near 
the east end of Spring Green pond, a cut in the head of the 
sand-plain showed cross-bedded sands divergent upward to 
the south, indicating, probably, outwash from beneath the 
ice. In the fosse, just west of the railroad bridge, south of 
Spring Green station, a boulder upwards of eight feet in 
length forms a part of the glacial drift which came to rest 
upon the bottom when the ice between this and the next front- 
al stage melted out. Southward the sand-plain is level- 
topped. 
PASSEONKQUIS POND OR (fASPEE POINT STAGE. 
This contact between the ice edge and its frontal deposits is 
marked by the depression kiu)vvn as the Passeonk(|uis pond, 
the cross-section of which shows a higher and steeper southern 
than northern bank. The south bank is as steep as the mate- 
rials will stand, while the northern bank exhibits the low, 
lobate aspect of a frontal sand-plain of later date. Inward
