Sand ridges having a steep slope on one side and a gradual slope on the other occu on some subaqueous terraces in Lake Michigan which have a plentiful supply of sand The origin and behavior of these ridges is explained in connection with one class c beach cusps. A similar subaqueous mass movement of sand on a larger scale is describe! as it occurs off a large cuspate projection such as a cape. An understanding of the be havior of subaqueous dunes is important in explaining the common occurrence of cross bedding, the preservation of ripple marks and other bottom irregularities, and the em bedding in sediments of organic remains and other objects.
