Cape Cod, Long Island, northern Pennsylvania, and the Ohio valley; and recent studies, especially by Antevs, indicate that the front of this sheet began to rot approximately 25,000 years ago. As a natural outgrowth of this everyday conception, we are inclined to infer that all the region south of the entire Labrador Peninsula was similarly crossed and denuded by the last or Wisconsin...
