Abstracts of some, and in a few cases the complete MSS., of these papers are in the possession of the British Glaciological Society and can be lent to members. Owing to shortage of time some papers were read by title only. Publication of all the papers will no doubt take place in due course.

Since many of the papers did not conform exactly with the original questions set at Washington in 1939, the classification has been modified.

Icebergs and River Ice. etc.

Snow Cover and Run-Off, Snow (General), Snow Classifications
