The southward-flowing streams whose heads were, respectively, above Sherman and near Jerusalem joined at the southern end of the long ridge which includes Towner Hill and Green Mountain. Thence the stream flowed southward along the valley now occupied by Wood Creek and reached Still River by way of the valley which extends southward from Neversink Pond (fig. 4). The preglacial course of Rocky River, as above outlined, is subject to possible modification in one minor feature, namely, the point where the east and west forks joined. The junction may have been where Neversink Pond is now situated, or three miles farther south than the indicated junction near the mouth of Wood Creek. A low ridge of till is the only barrier that at present prevents the western branch from flowing into the head of Barses Pond and thence into Neversink Pond (fig. 1). As thus reconstructed the greater part of Rocky River formerly belonged to the Still-Umpog system and formed a normal tributary in that distant period when the Still joined the Saugatuck on its way to the Sound (fig. 9). However, the normal condition was not lasting, for the reversal of Still River, as later described, brought about a complex arrangement of barbed streams (fig. 4) which remained until modified by glacial action. In a large stream system which has been reversed, considerable evidence may be gathered from the angle at which tributary streams enter. As the original direction of Rocky River in its last 2-1/2 miles is unchanged, normal tributaries should be expected; whereas between Jerusalem and the head of the stream entering Neversink Pond from the south, in accordance with the hypothesis that this portion of the stream was reversed, tributaries pointing upstream might be expected. Such little gullies as join Rocky River near its mouth are normal in direction; between Jerusalem and the mouth of Wood Creek, a distance of 4-1/2 miles, there are no distinct tributaries. South of the mouth of Wood Creek are four tributaries: (1) the brook which enters the valley from the west about one mile south of Neversink Pond, (2) Balls Brook, which empties into Neversink Pond, and (3) two streams on the east side--Mountain Brook and one other unnamed (fig. 1). All these, except Mountain Brook, are normal to the reconstructed drainage. The evidence of the tributaries, though not decisive, is thus favorable to the hypothesis of reversal. THE BURIED CHANNEL
