As noted in the review on page 347 of Vol. 1 of the Journal of Glaciology, the Zeitschrlft für Gletscherkunde und Glazialgeologie is continuing periodic publication since its first post-war issue of 1949.
The present number measures up to the fine quality and broad range of glacial morphological and glaciological articles covered by previous issues. These include subjects ranging from aspects on the internal structure and facings of glaciers and their firn cover, to discussions more strictly geographical and geomorphological in emphasis. Some of the material presented is obviously still a backlog of field work which has not been fully drawn to our attention elsewhere owing to the interference of the last war. Several papers of interest concerning new studies in seldom discussed regions are given. These include an interesting paper on glaciological research on the moraines at high elevations on two mountains in central Greece, and another interesting piece on penitente ice formations in the San juan Cordillera of Argentina.
The previous pattern of reports on glacier variations in Europe is followed to bring the record up to date through 1950. And, as always, there are valuable short notes and discussions on individual matters and on other recent publications of glaciological interest.
Although this Journal is, as usual, well presented, a few diagrams would seem not to be up to its usual standard of precise draughtsmanship. Also it might be added that a short abstract either in English or French would be most useful at the beginning of each paper, and in any event a short abstract in German, also at the beginning of each article, would be of greatest assistance.
