Until very recently the south-western part of the Eastern Townships had not received a great deal of attention from geomorphologists; indeed in the Eastern Townships as a whole the work has been essentially of a reconnaissance nature. However, lying as it does at the junction of the Appalachian ridges to the south and the St. Lawrence Lowlands to the north, one might expect it to be interesting from two points of view: firstly in having morphological features common to both areas and secondly in offering the possibility of a comparison between their sequences of development. In recent years the attention has been focussed on two particular topics which reflect increasing awareness of the significance of the area as a field of geomorphological research: the development of pre-glacial topography (Sangree, 1953; Bird, 1961) and studies of glacial geomorphology (Dresser and Denis, 1944; Sangree, 1953; Cooke, 1957).
