Abstract
I HAVE read with interest the discussion in NATURE on the “Glacier Theory of Alpine Lakes,” and I feel constrained to write now, more especially as Mr. Wallace has cited Tasmania as a country, among others, where Alpine lakes are associated with “palpable signs of glaciation.” Having recently, with Prof. Spencer, of Melbourne University, made a visit to the central lake district of Tasmania, a few words about the lakes may not be without interest in reference to the subject under discussion.
