Abstract
In bringing the last of a long series of papers on the Surface Drifts of the Lake District of Cumberland and Westmoreland to a close, Mr. Mackintosh sums up the general results at which he has arrived. All will agree with the first of his conclusions, “that land-ice may have planed, smoothed, polished, and striated rock surfaces, and pushed loose débris forward….” But I cannot see his reason for adding, “to the nearest protected situations,” for one would expect to find a terminal moraine at the open entrance of a valley, on a plain, or even on what can be proved to have been a true sea-bottom.
