Abstract
LAST summer (1891) I spent some weeks in Western Russia and Northern Germany, in order to ascertain whether the glacial fresh-water deposits of those countries contained any remains of the vegetation which lived there immediately after the inland ice had melted away. The results of my journey being favourable, I have thought it desirable to communicate them to the readers of NATURE; but before doing so it might be convenient to give a brief summary of previous investigations on the same subject.
