Abstract
HARDLY anyone disputes that the passage of ice over the British Uplands swept away all the loose rock materials and redeposited them in the Lowlands as glacial drifts. The controversy is not as to the removal of the loose débris, but of the excavation of basins in fresh hard rocks. As Mr. Deeley states, the opponents of glacial erosion have written extensively; but certain serious difficulties that have been advanced toy Prof. Bonney, Prof. Garwopd, and others, do not seem to me to have been directly answered. I share Mr. Deeley's gratitude to the three geologists whom he names for their important contributions to glacial geology.
