Btudies of the raised or abandon- ed beaches which occur at many places around the marging of the Great Lakes and the old cutlet chan- nels connected with these beaches show that there _have been many changes in the size of the lakes and that the principal outlet has been shifted from one place to another, though the main outlet of Erie and the upper lakes has remained at Ni. agara, throughout the greater part of the time (probably 20,000 to 30,- 000 years) since the disappearance of the ice sheet from the southern part of the Great Lakes region. , The ice sheet which once covered the whole of the Great Lakes region gradually melted back toward the north and for a time blocked the upper part of the St. Lawrence val- ley, thus ponding the waters in the T.ake Ontario basin. The overflow, during this early stage of the Great Lakes--which, however, were much smaller than at present, because a large part of the Hudson valley -to The flow at Niagara during this stage is estimated to have been only 25 per cent. of the present flow. When the ice sheet melted back far- ther toward the north the Trent val- ley outlet was uncovered by the ice and as the land in this region was at that time lower than the Port Huron outlet the main drainage of the up- per Great Lakes was diverfed down the Trent Vallev to the Ontario basin and thence to the sea. . ) Down Ottawa Valley, At a somewhat later stage a part of the drainage escaped by way of the Chicago outlet to the Mississipp! Valley and at a still later stage near- 1y all the drainage of the upper lakes went by way of North Bay and down the Ottawa valley to the Champlain Sea, which then occupied the lower parts of the Ottawa and St. Law- rence valleys. During the times of outflow at the Trent outlet and later at the North Bay outlet the flow at Niagara is estimated to have been only 15 per cent. of the present flow, The outflow at Chicago was probably very small. The shifting of the main outlet from one place to another was due partly to the uncovering by the jce--as it melted back---of outlet channels lower than the more south- | erly outlets and partly to uplift or tilting of the land, the amount of up- lift being greater in the north than in the south, Uplift went on as the ice sheet gradually melted and is : Pattioui~rs apply or write "generally held to have been due to p. 3 Y. oP. &T ' N.

Some" parts of thé Niagara gorge are quite different in general char- 7 | ter and size from other parts. The narrow parts are probably due to the small outflows during the times of diversion of the flow of the upper lake by way of the Trent and North Bay outlets, The upper great gorge, two and one-half miles long, was formed during the time that the present flow has been maintained and since the diversion of the flow from the North Bay outlet back to the Port Huron outlet. Judging by the rate of recession of Niagara Falls since 1827 it has taken between 3,000 and 3,500 years to form the upper gorge. ------ A Falls to Stay.
