Abstract
The term leaching is applied by glaciologists to that process of dissolving and carrying out in solution by ground water the soluble constituents of the drift, of which lime carbonate is the most notable in the Mississippi Valley. This discussion of that phenomenon is based on observations made by the writer on Pleistocene deposits of the larger part of the east half of Iowa, and in the vicinity of Chicago, Illinois.
