This paper gives an account of an investigation of the Carboniferous glacial deposits that crop out along the valley of the Arroyo de las Cabeceras, which is situated in one of the western front ranges of the Precordillera of San Juan, Western Argentina. The field work was carried out by one of us (J. Keidel) and the detailed examination of the fossils collected by the other (H. J. Harrington).
