Excerpt from Annual Report of the American Geographical Society of New York for the Year 1874 The valley of the mountain known as the Holy Cross was found to have been once the seat of an enormous glacier which has scored and cut up the gneiss rock upon the sides of the valley for one thousand feet high, and Prof. Whitney says that it may be doubted if so desirable an example of this effect Of glacial action will be found in this country. I, will only add that the work this year of Dr. Hayden and Mr. Gardiner joins on to that of Mr. Clarence King in the survey Of the fortieth parallel, the field-work of which is finished, and the results of which Mr. King and his associates are now preparing for publication.
