Abstract
IN NATURE of vol. vii. p. 241, you say, “Dr. Dawson thinks that the fiords on coasts, like the deep lateral valleys of mountains, are evidences of the action of waves, rather than that of ice. No glacialist, as far as we know, holds the extravagant belief that fiords have been cut out by ice. They are undoubtedly submerged valleys, and were hollowed out by streams and other atmospheric influences in ages long anterior to the glacial epoch.”
