Extract

In recent papers which I have printed in the GEOLOGICAL MAGAZINE I have tried to show that some of the greatest mountain chains in the world are of very recent origin; and that this accounts for their showing no traces, or very slight ones, of the action of ice on a wide-spread scale.

I have, in fact, ventured to lay down the conclusion that the presence or absence of such traces of ice-action is a test of whether these mountains existed at the so-called Glacial period or not.
