MANY ICE AGES"

Everyone with intelligent interest IN

correct to speak of the "ice age or the
glacial epoch" for there have been
many OF them Ii is now known that
even this latest or Pleistoeene glacial
epoch had several important subdivi-
sions, and il appears that in the Rocky
mountain region the time between the
glacial subepochs was so long as to per-
nit great changes in the form and height
of the mountains, due to a wearing down
by erosion.
More than 30 years ago English geolo-
gists recognized the fact that certain
masses of gravel and breccia and certain
plsned and grooved rock surfaces in
rocks of Permian age in India indi
Gated a glacial epoch vastly older than
that of the North American ice sheets,
but only within the last 80 years have
biologists learned that glacial conditions

American and North America. Great ice
