Gus indentlons. 1t is twelve feet long
by seven feet wide; and rises above the
surface of the ground about eighteen
inches. It's edges are angular, Its sur
face flat, aud it shows little effect of ice
action. 1t appears to be magnesian
limestone, and its whiteness makes its
a conspicuous object. On the surface
are several deep and perfect foot
