ABSTRACT THIS volume, which is the most recent addition to the collection of the “International Scientific Series,” published in the French language, contains a most admirable _résumé_ of
facts and opinions bearing upon the Glacial period, as illustrated in France and Switzerland. The author shows a very extensive acquaintance with the immense body of literature dealing with
glacial questions, by English, American, German, and Scandinavian geologists; and very fairly arid temperately discusses the bearings of the numerous theories that have been put forward upon
the facts observed in France. As the references to original memoirs are very full and complete, the work cannot fail to be of much value to glacialists and geologists in general, while it
admirably fulfils its main object, that of giving an accurate and popular account of the current knowledge and opinion of geologists upon glacial questions, especially adapted to the want of
French readers. La Période Glaciare: Étudiée principalement en France et en Suisse. Par A. Falsan. (Paris: Felix Alcan, 1889.) ARTICLE PDF RIGHTS AND PERMISSIONS Reprints and permissions
