After the completion of the main line of investigation a few days were spent in the study of the features in the vicinity of the termini of the beaches, but the approach Of winter prevented its satisfactory completion. The phenom ena prove to be complicated and in some ways Obscure, but it is thought that fuller study of certain features may clear up the difficulties. It will be observed that an untouched field remains at the eastern terminus of the upper (sheridan) beach, a field which is likely to yield definite results when given proper attention. This and other defects do not leave in doubt the main question of the correlation Of the beaches with the mo raines. That the beaches are absent because of the presence of the ice-sheet at that time, in the region to the east of their eastern termini, is made clear by the position Of the moraines and their features near the termini of the beaches. Inasmuch as opportunity for completing the study is not at present open, it seems advisable to set forth the situation so far as now understood.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
