Abstract
DURING the fifteen years which have elapsed since this little book first appeared, the science of geo-morphology has undergone certain marked changes both in scope and application. This is seen, not least, in the important results which have been obtained by the application of geomorphological principles to the elucidation of problems connected with the deforma tion of the earth's crust, especially within the belts of young fold mountains. It is an important branch of geographical as well as geological science and, for this reason, a short yet comprehensive account of modern methods and results, suitable for the student, is very desirable. The present volume pro vides such an elementary textbook, and forms an admirable introduction to the study of the surface morphology of the earth.
