Abstract
UNFORTUNATELY not having been present when Mr. W. R. Browne read his paper on glacier motion at the Royal Society on June 15, 1882, it only came under my notice when published in NATURE, vol. xxviii. p. 235. It is doubtless of little importance, but there is one sentence which does not seem to read exactly as I wrote it, namely, “It (a glacier) will get a series of cracks in its longer axis,” should be “across (or transverse to) its longer axis,” which I think makes the meaning more clear.
