At present no similar ice sheet exists, unless, possibly, the one in the south polar regions, about which almost nothing is known. Plants Were Frozen Out. With the advance of the ice, plants were exterminated and animals either exterminated or driven to the southward. For a long time these conditions lasted, though how long no one can say; and year by year the ice advanced through the valleys and over the hills and even over the mountain tops. At first it swept off the soil and loose rock fragments, dragging them southward and grinding them finer by rubbing particle against particle or against the rocks over which the glacier was slowly gliding.

Long island is believed to have been then much like the places studied by Captain MacMillan in the Arctic. There the front of the glacier is believed to have reached the sea and it broke off to form numerous Icebergs. In time the conditions which gave rise to the glacial period the same, scientists believe, which cause the present advance of the Arctic ice began to change, and the ice front slowly melted back, uncovering New York and the rest of the country over which it had advanced. In some places the Ice halted long enough to build up hills of debris, moraines, picked up in its advance from the north. After having passed down into Pennsylvania, the ice halted for a long time in central and western New York. The deposits from the glacier form the characteristic soil of the state, particularly of the hillsides and hilltops. With the withdrawal of the Ice the conditions wrere again made favorable for the existence of animal and plant life upon the surface, reads Professor Tarrs book. Foot by foot the country was relieved of its Ice blanket and slowly the soil left by the glacier began to be made to nourish plant life and to furnish a dwelling place for animals. At first, skirting the ice front, there must have been strips of land entirely without vegetation. Then came the light seeded grasses and small plants and then the forests. During this bare condition of the soil the rain fell, and gathering into mudladen rills washed much of the imported soil away, as it now does on the roads and ploughed fields; and this sediment was added to the stratified drift from the glacier. Rain Made Torrents. There is good reason to believe that the rains were perhaps heavier then than now, for the presence of the ice winds from to chill the moisture-ladeand the the south, large amount of vapor that would be produced from the waters floods of the would bring about conditions favoring heavier rain. At this time, also, in places where the slope was sufficient for the removal of the sediment, the streams must have had more power to cut than now ; and probably much of the gorge cutting in central New York was accomplished during this time, when there was apparently more water and when the water that fell upon the surface certainly flowed away more quickdid ly in the form of floods than it by retarded was runoff later when its the forests. Also, at this time the streams had more sediment to serve as soil cutting tools than later, when the was held in place by the roots of the forest trees.
