moraines like the one at middle of mountain. 3?hese are now -wholly out¬ 
side the glacier and are about 100 feet thick and extend several hund¬ 
red yards below the present ncse of the ioe. The nose of glacier is

now forming a small terminal moraine a few feet high (4 or 5} and this 
- + - 
one is thrust up against a series of similar terminal moraines which 
form a mss about 40 yards across and 5 feet high in middle and much 
higher on sides with a wavy surface showing that they are a series of 
successive marks of the retreat of the glacier* Then succeeds a slop¬ 
ing sTen 80 yards across free from moraines and then a dam-like moraine 
about G feet high in centre and over 200 yards long, but lower at ends, 
and evidently marking time when the glacier front was of this length 
and came over the now exp. cliff. Back of this, near breast end, is a 
series of wavy moraines 25 yards across and 20 feet high and this is 
again succeeded by a free space or slope 150 yards long to where the 
glacier fell over another cliff. Co-terminoua with -axis last series in 
front of present nose of glacier is a terminal moraine 35 to 40 yards 
long and 15 to 20 feet high and it is succeeded by a long free slope 
125 yards long to cliff* The following outline will indicate the posi¬ 
tion of these morainesj
