Abstract
American Journal of Science, December.—Another episode in the history of Niagara Falls, by J. W. Spencer. The first episode of the river was characterised by a cascade comparable in size to the American Falls, draining the Erie basin alone. The commencement of the second episode was marked by an increase in the volume of water, owing to the drainage of all the upper lakes being turned into the Niagara. Subsequently the fall was increased from 200 to 420 feet.
