Abstract
THIS is a folio publication with eleven excellent maps and nine short chapters of explanatory text, and an additional chapter by Prof. J. W. Winthrop Spencer. The author has based the work on a detailed study of the Admiralty charts showing the soundings over the continental shelf and the upper part of the continental slope off the western coasts of Europe and Africa, and this leads up to a statement of his views as to the cause of the Glacial Period.
