Abstract
HAVING lately read with much interest several letters to NATURE on the subject of the formation of anchor- or ground-ice, I beg leave to inform your readers that it forms here every season in the Rock Island rapids of the Upper Mississippi River; any one desirous of studying its mode of formation would here have a good opportunity. Some observations of mine upon this phenomenon may be found in vol. ii. of the Proceedings of the Davenport Academy of Natural Sciences, p. 349.
