In the Devil's lake region isolated and well-defined kames are not of common occurrence. There are, however, at many points hills which have something of a kame-like character. There is such a hill a mile southeast of the Court house at Baraboo, at the point marked p, Plate XXXVII. In this hill there are good exposures which show its structure. There are many hillocks of a general kame-like habit associated with the terminal moraine south of the main quartzite range, and north of the Wisconsin river. Many of them occur somewhat within the terminal moraine a few miles northwest of Merrimac. _B. Beyond the edge of the ice, on land._--As the waters escaping from the ice flowed farther, deposits of stratified drift were made quite beyond the edge of the ice. The forms assumed by such deposits are various, and depended on various conditions. Where the waters issuing from the edge of the ice found themselves concentrated in valleys, and where they possessed sufficient load, and not too great velocity, they aggraded the valleys through which they flowed, developing fluvial plains of gravel and sand, which often extended far beyond the ice. Such fluvial plains of gravel and sand constitute the _valley trains_ which extend beyond the unstratified glacial drift in many of the valleys of the United States. They are found especially in the valleys leading out from the stouter terminal moraines of late glacial age. From these moraines, the more extensive valley trains take their origin, thus emphasizing the fact that they are deposits made by water beyond a stationary ice margin. Valley trains have all the characteristics of alluvial plains built by rapid waters carrying heavy loads of detritus. Now and then their surfaces present slight variations from planeness, but they are minor. Like all plains of similar origin they decline gradually, and with diminishing gradient, down stream. They are of coarser material near their sources, and of finer material farther away. Valley trains constitute a distinct topographic as well as genetic type. A perfect example of a valley train does not occur within the region here discussed. There is such a train starting at the moraine where it crosses the Wisconsin river above Prairie du Sac, and extending down that valley to the Mississippi, but at its head this valley train is wide and has the appearance of an overwash plain, rather than a valley train. Farther from the moraine, however, it narrows, and assumes the normal characteristics of a valley train. It is the gravel and sand of this formation which underlies Sauk Prairie, and its topographic continuation to the westward.
