Abstract

ONE of the most important results of the acceptance of Wegener's theory of the palaeogeography of the world would be the simplification of the I facts of the Permo-Carboniferous glaciation of Australia, India, South Africa, and South America by bringing the glaciated areas together into one single glaciated region. It is undoubted that if this were done much of the difficulty of accounting for the simultaneous glaciation of regions so diverse in latitude would disappear. Considerable interest, therefore, attaches to the recent discussion on Wegener's hypothesis, which was held before the Royal Society of South Africa, for its bearing on this important aspect of the subject.
