Abstract
Natural correlation with climatic ages of Canadian postglacial forest types, deduced by Potzger and Courtemanche, confirms the well-suggested view that the ice border oscillations at Cochrane antedated the Altithermal which culminated ca. 6,000 years ago. The postglacial crustal rise of the James Bay country required 8,000-10,000 years according to Gutenberg. The Cochrane must be the correlative of the European Salpausselka stage and be some 10,000- 11,000 years old. Since the ice retreat from Milwaukee to Cochrane comprised at least 7,000 years, the radiocarbon age of the Two Creeks forest bed of 11,400 years must be much too low.
