Abstract
M. B. VON COTTA, who once visited the Altai Mountains, is decidedly of opinion that there are no traces of the Ice period on this range. But at the southern part of the Altai, where there are some large glaciers and many ridges covered with eternal snows, there are undoubted traces of a mighty spreading of ancient glaciers. At least this is the conviction I brought back in 1870 from a rapid examination of nearly the same localities as those which have been recently visited by Mr. Bialoveski.
