Prominent Ridge

The Brandon Hills, formed during the deglaciation of southwestern Manitoba in Late Wisconsinan time, are usually mapped as end moraine, although glaciofluvial deposits are common and are responsible for some distinctive landforms. In the central and western part of the study area a series of subparallel ridges, composed of glaciofluvial deposits overlain by up to 5 m of till, are believed to have originated when sediments were deposited in a series of tunnels within or beneath the ice. Near the eastern end of the hills, a prominent ridge, 4 km long and up to 60 m high, exhibits many of the attributes of an esker. A smaller ridge on the south side of the hills is also esker-like in form.The pebble lithology of the till and of the glaciofluvial deposits is similar and is dominated by material derived from the Precambrian Shield and the Paleozoic outcrop belt to the northeast rather than from local shale bedrock. Dolomite in the till exhibits bimodal frequency distribution with the terminal grade < 0.062 mm.

Basal Till

Near Hemlo, Ontario, highly calcareous till is confined to areas located downglacier from Precambrian uplands, at least 150 km from the Paleozoic–Precambrian boundary. It comprises subglacial meltout till between lodgment tills, and the calcareous package overlies noncalcareous basal till (not studied) and underlies noncalcareous supraglacial meltout till. The tills can be distinguished by textural, carbonate, and clast compositions. Glaciotectonic deformations, stone fabrics and striae, and stone provenance from the tills, as well as erosional and depositional landforms, indicate that ice advanced to the south–southwest across bedrock contacts and over Precambrian uplands.Deposition of all five tills can be explained with one glacial event. As the Late Wisconsinan margin of the Laurentide ice sheet advanced against uplands about 20 km northeast of Hemlo it experienced compressive flow while depositing the non calcareous basal till. Upshearing of stoss-side local debris high into the ice also occurred as englacial ice overrode the slowed basal zone. Once over the upland, englacial ice assumed extending flow, and downshearing of distal debris, which was deposited as calcareous lodgment till on the lee sides of uplands. After the glacial maximum, the glacier ceased internal movement and subglacial meltout till was laid down. A late reactivation of the ice deposited the upper lodgment till and final stagnation formed the supraglacial meltout till.

AbstractThis paper attempts to give new explanation for the expression agrïp yok bol- occurring in 9th line of the south side of the Bilgä Kagan Inscription. After a thorough survey of former research and several Chinese sources, the authors came to the conclusion that this expression must be a euphemistic expression for being beheaded in a battle. The authors found also that kog säŋün was Guo Yingjie 郭英傑. In sum, the sentence in question is to be read as ulug oglum agrïp yok bolča kog säŋünüg balbal tikä bertim ‘When my oldest son died of a disease, I readily erected General Kog as a balbal (for him).’ The expression agrïp yok bol- is to be regarded as a euphemistic expression for being beheaded in a battle.

Water Spring

The crab whose habits I now describe has not previously been recorded as an inhabitant of British seas. I found two specimens, both male, imbedded in a patch of coarse shell sand on the south side of Drake's Island at low water, spring tides: one on August 11th, 1896, and the other on the following day.

The Village

The mound of Kilindir (fig. 1) lies about one kilometre south-west of the station of that name on the railway that runs from Salonika to Constantinople via Seres, Dedeagatch and Adrianople. A small stream called Gyol Ayak issues from the south side of Lake Doiran exactly at the modern village at Doiran station. This stream, after passing through nine kilometres of broken and ravined country, issues into more open ground just by the modern Chiflik which represents the pre-war site of the village of Kilindir.

At the end of April of last year the Rev. Charles Overy drew my attention to the presence of broken animal bones, flints, and sherds of pottery in a gravel-pit on the south side of the road from Abingdon to Radley, about a mile out of Abingdon (fig. 1).The pit lies on the very boundary of the parish of Abingdon in a field at about 200 ft. O.D., just over half a mile north of the Thames and some 30 ft. above the river. On its eastern and southern sides it is bounded by the wide trenches which in the days of the splendour of Abingdon Abbey formed part of the Abbey's fish-ponds ; on the north is the road, and on the east the ground drops to a little brook.

I Here describe a few sites on the south side of the valley of the Strymon, which I noticed while stationed there in 1916–1918. All except No. 5 belong to the third type described by Wace and Thompson and consist of large, low flat-topped mounds covered with Hellenistic sherds. This part of the country was anciently inhabited by the Bisaltai.1. At kilometre 70 on the Salonika-Serres road, about three kilometres south-west of Sakavcha, and two-and-a-half kilometres west of Makesh. Round the edges the remains of ancient walls can be easily traced; in places they are still three feet high and the same thickness with small towers at irregular intervals. Remains of house walls can be found everywhere a few feet down.
