Characteristics of existing glaciers

ABSTRACT THE framework of this volume was laid by Prof. Hobbs in three papers, dealing” in turn with “Mountain Glaciation,” “The Ice of Arctic Regions,” and “Antarctic Ice,” which were

published during 1910 in scientific journals respectively in London, Philadelphia, and Berlin. The author has done good service to the glaciologist and glacial geologist in bringing together

his concise description and classification of existing glaciers and ice-sheets in the present convenient form. Especially in the parts devoted to Arctic and Antarctic ice he has made an

exhaustive digest of the scattered literature, and has presented a copiously illustrated summary of the available information respecting the distribution and character of the ice of these

regions. To the end of each chapter he appends a full list of his authorities, so that the book is in every respect a most useful work of reference. His outlook is throughout that of a

physiographer of the modern American school, and he has constantly in view the effect of ke and snow upon the shape of the land beneath it. Characteristics of Existing Glaciers. By Prof. W.
