Abstract
IN a recent number of NATURE (February 21, p. 255) there is a very interesting review by Prof. J. W. Gregory of an English edition of “The Origin of Continents and Oceans”, in which important objections are brought forward against the supposed drift of continents and shifting of the earth's poles. The suggestion is made, however, that the theory will “probably give a new lease of life to the explanation of the Carboniferous glaciation of India and some parts of the Southern Hemisphere, by the shifting of the Pole; for arguments, which are unanswerable against that explanation with scattered continents, do not apply to Prof. Wegener's single continent”.
