Abstract
THE country around McMurdo Sound in South JL Victoria Land has become, in spite of its high latitude, the best known area in the Antarctic, and these two instructive and superbly illustrated monographs on it make important additions to our knowledge. They contain detailed descriptions of the ice formations and processes of ice action in that district; and the explanations adopted are based on prolonged study of a specially instructive field, after full discussion on the spot by experts in many branches of knowledge. Both monographs are important contributions to the literature of glacial geology.
