Lakes With 3Iore Than One Outlet. — Watson. 267 
tions, though the longest and most universal movement was 
the first, toward the west. Probably before the general ice 
covering, there was a stage of local valley glaciers, of newly 
born glaciers similar to those now dying. This more contin- 
uous glaciation, in the interior and shaded northern parts of 
the peninsula, has impressed itself upon the topography of the 
inland valle3's in the form of much rounded roches mouton- 
nees hills and rounded rock areas of smaller size. There is 
also a marked contrast between the fresh rock surface and the 
rounded appearance of the bottoms of these valleys and the 
more angular hill sides and hill tops which have been longer 
exposed. 
Now most of these glaciers have disappeared, the largest 
being the Looped and Nugsuak glaciers, furnished from the 
same snow field. Even these are diminishing in size and many 
of the tongues which joined with them to form larger glaciers, 
are now present either in the form of nearly motionless gla- 
ciers, without snow fields, or else in the form of ice patches 
and snow banks, in the sliady, protected valleys and mouii- 
tain passes. 
LAKES WITH MORE THAN ONE OUTLET. 
By Thomas L. Watson, Ithaca, N. Y.* 
The possibility of a lake basin having more than one outlet 
or overflow channel through which it drains has caused more 
or less discussion since the early sixties. The controversy 
first had its origin, so far as known to the writer, about some 
Norwegian lakes, l)ut one which was especially significant at 
the time and caused considerable comment, was Lake Victoria- 
Nyanza. It was then given as the head- waters of the River 
Nilef and described as having three outlets. These, with oth- 
er lakes, were described in the Athenaeum;]; of London, and the 
controversy lasted from 1863 through 1866. 'J'his was follow-

on lakes with more than one outlet, and citation of references to the 
literature, with a short description of several lakes of this kind noted
