Abstract
WHEN the first edition of the “Quaternary Ice Age” was published in 1914, it took its place at once as the standard English text-book on the subject. Since then our ideas concerning the Glacial Period have undergone a profound change, for the monoglacial theory, after a comparatively brief tenure, has had to give place to the older view of successive ice-advances, alternating with milder, or even warm, interglacial episodes. A new and revised edition of this well-known book has, therefore, been looked forward to for some long time.
