V.—Glacial Geology: Old and New

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  01 May 2009

Extract

Over twenty years ago I commenced the study of the glacial deposits of the neighbourhood of Liverpool, and as the observations grew they came to embrace a considerable share of the drainagebasin of the Irish Sea.

I have personally inspected and kept full records of all of the important artificial excavations likely to throw light upon the subject, in addition to examining and making sections of the natural exposures of glacial drift which abound on the north-west coast of England, the coast of Wales, and in the river valleys draining into the Irish Sea, and to a lesser extent the drift on the east-coast of Ireland and the south of Scotland.
