Abstract
IN a communication to the British Association at Oxford, I gave an outline of a method of obtaining a limit to the direct effect on terrestrial temperature of the diminished winter sun-heat during epochs of great eccentricity, the conclusion being that that effect had been enormously exaggerated, and that the astronomical theory of the Ice Age was really but a vague hypothesis, having no sound physical foundation.
