Abstract
SOME soil (which is of a heavy nature), being required, had been dug out to a depth of about a foot. The sides and bottom were thus quite irregular. Rain-water lodged in the hole, thus forming the pond, which was about 4 ft. long, 1 ft. 6 in. wide, and 5 in. maximum depth; the major axis was N.E. and S.W., and the upper surface of the ice about 8 in. below the general level of the ground.
