'The following report on the island of Mount Desert presents in outline results of certain geological studies which were undertaken on that area for the purpose of determining what light they might throw on the recent changes of level of the Atlantic coast line. As the inquiry demanded a somewhat careful study of the general geology of the district, it seemed worth while to present in brief form the principal or at least the more evident points concerning its general structure.' Report looks at surface and glacial geology and structural geology /STUDY LOCATIONS:/ /MOUNT DESERT ISLAND/Dix Point/Otter Creek/Bracy Cove/McFarland Mountain/Somes Sound/Robinson Mountain/Acadia Mountain/Carters Nubble/Hulls Cove/Bear Brook/Echo Lake/Beech Hill/Beech Mountain/Great Head/Schooner Head/Otter Cliff/Western Mountain/Jordan Mountain/Sargent Mountain/The Ovens/ISLANDS/Baker Island/
