Abstract
THAT ice will change its form under the influence of pressure is exemplified at large in glaciers, and may be illustrated by experiments in the laboratory. How far this is due to a true viscosity, and how far to a rearrangement of the particles by melting and regelation, is a question the discussion of which among physicists has been of long continuance, though there there may now perhaps be some signs of permanent yielding under the influence of continuous pressure.
