Abstract
AN instructive addition to the “Library of Useful Stories,” containing a clearly-written account of the physical properties and geological operations of ice. General readers should find the volume interesting. We notice that the cavities formed by glacier mills are termed “potholes or giant's kettles”; but the former term ought to be restricted to the circular holes found in the beds of streams.
