Comparatively small glaciers can, I'M
der certain circumstances, hold back
water so as to form lakes like the Mar
jelen see behind the .Eggischhorn, or
the Mattmark Gee in the Saas valley.
What bodies of waters may have been
held back by the huge ice sheets Of the
great glacial periol-what inconceiv-
ably stupendous events would the burst
ing of their bounds be! Yet this is not
altogether wild speculation. Already
much evidence has been brought togeth-
er which tell of the former existence of
such masses of water, OF great ice bar
rier at Cincinnati d. mining back q. 900
square miles of water, and of another
lake Of the same kind, further north in
the Red River region, 100. 900 square
miles in area, 100 to 200 miles wide and
600 miles long. And the same evidence
goes to show that thess gigantic reser-

have been called) did actually burst.
