Freezing Wells at Brandon, Vermont. Described in Part I., page 77. (_Geology of Vermont_, 1861, vol. I., page 192.)--Mr. Hager says that the well was dug into a mass of sand and gravel, of the kind known as modified drift. The gravel was frozen at the time of digging.

The first was 10 meters in depth and did not reach ice; the second was 11 meters in depth, and came to the layer of frozen gravel.
