few isolated areas of exposed bed rock in Allen Bay and Resolute Bay, the beaches between Sheringham Point and Prospect Hills are made up of moderately well-sorted gravel which is permeable to run-off water. All rivers and creeks are shown. The dotted lines along the coast indicate beach areas where the anchor belt was essentially continuous. extending 2-5 m seawards from the Lower Low Water Springs line and having a typical thickness of 0.5 m (Fig. 2). Where it could be seen, the surface was striated, apparently by gravel frozen into moving ice blocks, but no gravel was found in the body of the fresh-water ice itself. Grounded floes covered part of the belt and in some places there was a thin covering of loose gravel on its upper surface which had been deposited by the melting of ice grounded on top. The lower surface of the anchor ice was continuous with interstitial ice in the undisturbed gravel of
