Abstract
I THINK there is no one point in connection with glaciers more interesting than their veined structure, or one upon which so much has been written that remains equally unsettled. The difference of opinion about it between the authors who have published most upon the subject are not less remarkable than the phenomenon itself: no two are agreed, except in considering it as a constitutional feature.
