Note 7 — PART I. (continued 2)

Mr. E. I. H. Howell examined several times, in 1899, the talus of the Giant of the Valley. He found ice in many places; also cold air currents blowing out. At one spot, there is a spring which flows all through the summer, and the water is so cold, that its temperature is little above that of melting ice. Mr. Howell found, as at Ausable Pond, spring flowers growing in mid-summer among the rocks of the talus.
