Origin of 11t> f tin J,s 229 the Mississippi Our knowledge of the Canadianregion is too limited to permit the assumption that noneof the drainage found its way northward in prcglacialtimes. Thus it is seen that, while we know that there wen-valleys in preglacial times, there is no consensus of opinionas to their course. On the part of some it has been acommon assumption that the buried valleys discovered inborings are all preglacial; but by others it has bem sug-gested that some of them are iuterglacial.

From this maze of conflicting opinions it is difficult todetermine upon the correct explanation. One point seemsfairly clear—that the preglacial valleys were not as deepas the present ones.
