Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pleistocene Marine Submergence of the Hudson, Champlain and St. Lawrence Valleys This is the closing paper of a series on the glacial waters in New York State published as bulletins of the New York State Museum. These bulletins, with other papers, described the successive stages of the glacial lakes and drainage down to the time Of Lake Iroquois, the latest Of the glacial lakes. (see nos 154 - 64 of the biblio graphic list.) The glacial history had been carried eastward through the Mohawk valley to the Hudson valley, and the writer thought that his task would be completed when the Lake Iroquois history ended with the extinction of the lake in the Champlain sea. In the prosecution Of this study the Iroquois shore was traced north eastward on the northwest flank of the Adirondack highland to the second and final outlet Of the lake, at the pass south of Covey hill on the international boundary, with altitude far over 1000 feet.
