to be steep. The beds lie generally pretty regularly & at comparatively low angles. Many of the mountains & ridges have a form resembling that of waves ready to break, depending on the near parallelism of the slope (generally the western) with the planes of the beds. The opposite side showing abrupt cliffs where the strata have been broken across.

Effects of glacial period very clearly & beautifully shown. The larger lakes long & river like & lying in vallies radiating from central peaks appear to be blocked in by ridges of moraine matter. Amphitheatre with almost perpendicular walls are common near the larger peaks & generally terminate the vallies They are open in front & almost invariably each holds a little indigo lake in its bottom which has evidently been formed by the descent of the glacier when near its last The prow ploughing deeply into the rubbish in the bottom of the amphitheatre once holding a great nevÈe. It is to be noted that the excavating power of ice thus descending almost vertically must be much greater than when moving down a nearly horizontal valley.
