page 129 note 1 This term as used by the writer refers to the Great Ice Age of Pleistocene time. He holds that the occurrences of ice as a geologic agent of magnitude during eras preceding the Pleistocene were not “worldwide” nor as “phenomenal”, nor were they preceded, accompanied, nor followed by conditions as significant as corresponding phenomena of the Ice Age.

page 130 note 2 Slight fluctuations in the retreat of the small residual glaciers in temperate latitudes are noted in the reports of the Commission on Glaciers of the International Geological Congress by Professor Harry Fielding Reid. But the great measures of the progressiveness of glacial retreat are in the past disappearance of the Pleistocene ice-fields of temperate latitudes and the present retreat in the Antarctic and Arctic regions.
