Excursion 6.- Saturday, Nov. 9. Professor W. M. Davis. The Terminal Moraine of Southern Rhode Island. This moraine is a portion of one of the great terminal moraines that was formed near the margin of the ice-covered area of the last glacial epoch. It consists of a belt of irregular gravel hills, extending about twenty miles from near Narragansett Pier to Watch Hill, averaging a mile in breadth, and fifty to a hundred feet in local relief. On the northern side, the moraine blocks the streams that descend from the interior, thus forming lakes and swamps, whose united overflow to the west creates Pawcatuck river. On the southern side, the moraine is fronted by a plain of sand and gravel, spread out by the wash of ice-water from the margin of the glacial sheet. This plain slopes to the sea-shore, where a number of lagoons are enclosed by off-shore, wave-built barrier-beaches.
Excursion 7.- Saturday, Nov. 16. Mr. J. H. Sears. The eruptive rocks of Salem and Marblehead.
