Text Appearing Before Image:
usually just wide enough for a foot-path; and pebbles a foot or two indiameter dot its course at frequent intervals. Usually, also, the base of the ridge ispartially hid by subsequent accumulation of stratified sand and fine gravel, or by peat-bogs. Another point of importance is, that the fi-agments of rock in the ridges are nearlyall somewhat rounded and apparently water-worn, though it is evident that they havenot all been subjected to the same amount of attrition. I have searched in vain amongthe ddbris of the formation for scratched stones, though striated stones are found inabundance near the surface in the immediate vicinity. Furthermore, the pebbles arenot of local origin. Merrimack slate abounds, as does a porphyritic gneiss, whose po-sition is well determined in central New Hampshire. In Topsfield, a portion of thepebbles are cleariy from ledges only a few miles to the north-west. The formation does not lie at a uniform altitude above the sea, but rises over hills Plate VII.
