As part of the general investigation into the deglaciation of central Labrador-Ungava, a study is made of the glacial drift forms in the Schefferville area. The principal method of examination of the till is by fabric analysis. An elaborate method of field procedure and statistical plotting of the till fabric analyses is described and adopted. The drift forms appear generally to have been deposited sub-glacially from stagnant or slowly-moving ice. The till fabric analyses suggest that in the Schefferville district the last movement of ice was from the north, and lends support to the proposal of an ice divide near Kivivic Lake.
