Abstract

IN his recently published presidential address to the Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh (Proc., vol. 21, Part 4, February 1929), for. James Ritchie discussed the Ice Age in Scotland in its f aunistic bearings. While Scotland must have shared in some degree the fluctuations of climate which have left traces so marked on the neighbouring shores of continental Europe, the earlier fluctuations either left no material remains or these have been removed by subsequent glaciation, for there is no faunistic evidence of the long series of changes which represents the early ice age or altdiluviurn of continental geologists. The Scottish Ice Age exhibits but a relatively short section of the Pleistocene glacial epoch.
