Glacial Erosion

Abstract

THE reviewer of “Geographical Essays”, by Prof. W. M. Davis, writes in NATURE of January 19:—“Prof. Bonney's presidential address to the British Association has brought the controversy on glacial erosion to a head. It may be hoped that the authoritative and masterly statements on both sides will lead to an agreement as to the main facts, but no settlement can be expected until the arguments of those who limit the efficacy of glaciers as eroding agents have been directly answered”.
