trix of a dyke which the sea, at a 
former depression of land, removed 
and which the glacier has since filled 
with drift. Most of the gravel has 
been removed, but no absolute 
proof of a former dyke can be found. 
Parallel with this chasm, and fifty 
feet from it, an opening into the 
bank reveals the decomposed ma- 
terial of a large dyke, and the solid 
trap itself is visible beyond. Wave 
action on the walls of the chasm is 
manifest. Surely nothing but the 
surging of the tides could have thus 
marked the rock at the depth of 
twenty feet. The narrowness, depth

and direction preclude the thought of 
attributing it to ice action. 
This rock is like an inverted saucer 
a thousand feet in circumference, and 
a generation ago it was the site of a 
vegetable garden. The present owner 
has removed most of the soiland drift 
from the rock as far as the top, and 
in so doing has had occasion to blast 
many boulders the structure of which 
reveals their foreign origin. 
The northern lode of this isolated 
rock is of intense interest to the geo- 
logist. Here is exposed to view a 
quarter of an acre of genuine glacial 
plowing and planing. No small 
striz are visible, but deep channels 
and long, round, finger-shaped ridges 
stretch to the northwest in parallel. 
The passage of the hand over the 
plain surface reveals to the touch 
minute channels parallel to the bol- 
der ridges. The preservation of the 
rock in this beautiful manner is due 
to the superposed drift. 
No doubt that many such places 
exist beneath fathoms of debris, but 
the places where they have been de- 
nuded areso rare that when one is 
found in such a perfect. state of pre- 
servation as this it is of inestimable 
value. 
We have concluded that the sea 
has shifted and cross-bedded the ice 
drift in this basin in very recent 
times, we have seen that the sea has 
left unworn the ice-grooved ledges as 
on the John R. Allen estate. We 
know that so coarse and jointed is the 
structure of the bed rock that the sea 
would soon have rifted and crumbled 
it, and now the difficult question 
arises: Why did the sea shift this 
great mass of glacial drift and leave 
unblurred this page, the best in this 
whole chapter of glacial history in 
Manchester ? 
The following is offered in answer : 
At the close of glacial time the 
depth of drift was undoubtedly great- 
est in this basin, and thus the rock 
was covered many fathoms. In the 
submergence of jand which followed, 
the present high point of rock was 
either jast below or at sea level and 
then received the wear so plainly vis- 
ible today. At this particular time 
the glaciated ledges in question were 
many feet beneath drift and water: 
In the terrace period, when the land 
was slowly emerging, the currents in 
this basin, shaping their direction by 
the headland, whirled the drift to the 
opposite side of the basin and thus 
made the cross-be dded structure now 
visible. High bluffs protected the 
basin from the violent storms of the 
open sea coast, and at the close of 
the upward movement the ice-carved 
rock was nearly uncovered. The thin 
covering is now removed and Man- 
chester has one of the few surfaces 
that actually came in contact with the 
glacier.
