Abstract
THE deposits made by the ice and by the waters which •originated from it dUl'lng the ~lacial period, possess a character so unique, and so markedly unlike that of the underlying formations within the glaciated area of the United States, that there has been little difficulty in discriminating between them.There have been differences of opinion as to the relative importance of the val'iolls agencies which are believed to have been operative in the production of the drift, and in some minor measure these differences still exist.But whether the drift of any particular region be believed to be the work of glaciers, or of icebergs or ice-floes, or of glacionatant lakes or streall1s, or the j.oillt wOl'k of two or more of these agencies.still the drift, as snch, is clearly defined from the underlying stmta.In many regions, this is true no less of the valley drift which stretches beyond the glaciated area along the avenues of discharge for the melting ice, than of the unmodified drift upon the extra-\'alley lands farther to the north, where the drift agent is believed to have been land ice.* The writers have worked in sllch close association in the study of this and of correlated regions.that it is difficult to define their individual work and their respective responsibilities; nor is it important; but they have reasons for statinA' that the preliminary determination of the salient featnres of the correlation, and the direction of the investigation, are largely the work of Mr. Chamberlin, while the detailed investigation, the elaboration of results, and the preparation of this article are chiefly the work of Mr. Salisbury.
