Fluctuations in the Italian glaciers were published in the last issue of this Journal (p. 421) in an article by Professor A. Desio. Sr. M. Vanni, in the current issue of the Bolletino del Coryitato Ghciologico Italiano (Ser. 2, No. 1, 1950, p. 103–13), gives results observed in a somewhat larger number of glaciers. These show that in 1949 out of a total of 118 glaciers 93 had receded, 28 were stationary and 2 had advanced. Professor Desio had indicated an advance in 3 glaciers—the two mentioned by Sr. Vanni and the western glacier of Monte Canin. Sr. Vanni attributes the recessions principally to light winter precipitations.
