in this elaborate treatise, the author gives
a systematic account of the Glacial Epoch,
with special reference 10 changes Of climate
in every glaciated region which has been

/ VlSizldCldl- utll Alltcl NC ~ I.N-
| glacial and inter-glacial times. Their alb
sence in certain districts he accounts for by
/ showing that they have been swept
| out of these regions by con1lu-
ent glaciers and by the sea during
| the period of great submeTgence. n cOnsid-
/ cradle portion Of the work Is devoted to
publishing the fact that wide surface land
/ existed in the British area after the disap-
pearance of the ice-sheets, and before the
period of great submergency had COM
| menced. The recent discovery of human
remains in the Victoria cave, where the de-
posits are OveTlaid by a glacial accumula-
| ton. is claimed as direct evidence IN cor
roboration of his views. One chapter is
devoted TO s'the superficial deposits OF
/ North America" from which We could
make some highly interesting extracts, did
our space permit. The work, which is
profusely illustrated with charts and draw
| ings, cannot but attract general attention
in the scientific world.
