Abstract
EARLY glaciologists wrote of ‘The Ice Age,’ next of ‘The Great Ice Age,’ and when it became obvious that there had been earlier refrigerations not inferior in intensity to the latest, of ‘The Quaternary Ice Age’; now we have a glacial history of the earth, and from the hand of a master of the subject. Many of the glacial deposits described have only been discovered within the past few years; it is probable that many more will be found in the future, but Prof. Coleman presents enough material to enable us to form an idea of the distribution of glaciation both in space and time.
