Toward the end of the lobe, melting and evaporation increase rapidly because the planetary westerly winds are more likely to overcome the glacial winds and sweep across a long, narrow lobe than across a broad one.
Lows which cross a lobe do not yield so much snow to the tip as do those which follow the margin.
Again, where the topography or the location of oceans or dry areas causes the glacial lobes to be long and narrow, the elongation of the lobe is apparently checked in several ways.
When the posterior lobe is well developed, a third prolongation of the ventricular cavity extends into it, and is called the "posterior cornu.

It first becomes five-lobed, each lobe forming a rudimentary tube foot, and on each side of the middle lobe two fresh ones next spring out, and so on in succession.
Other really similar forms at first sight appear very different, but this is mainly owing to the fact that their prae-oral lobe never attains a considerable development.
The attachment of the larva by the prae-oral lobe is not more extraordinary than the attachment of a Barnacle by its head, and after such a mode of attachment the atrophy of the supra-oesophageal ganglion would be only natural.

As the ice retreated, sand and gravel in the form of terraces accumulated along the margin of the Umpog valley, where the drainage was concentrated in the spaces left by the melting of the ice lobe from the hillside.
It is possible that an ice lobe extended down the old Rocky River valley, perhaps occupying much of the country between Beaver Brook Mountain and the high ridge west of the valley.
A lobe of fine till extends into the valley from the northeast and narrows the outlet.
That part of the drainage coming down the valley opposite Beaver Brook met the drainage from Still River ice lobe in the valley north of Shelter Rock, and as a result heavy deposits of stratified drift were laid down.

Delavaud[497] puts on record a case of hypertrophy in the leaves of the common elm, resulting in the formation of an additional lobe and a return to the tricostate type.
In other cases, in the same plant, the anther appeared as if formed by two collateral leaves, the faces looking towards the circumference of the flower, and their margins so folded together as to represent an open anther lobe (fig.
