Excerpt from The Canadian Ice Age: Being Notes on the Pleistocene Geology of Canada, With Especial Reference to the Life of the Period and Its Climatal Conditions The facts stated and questions discussed in this work have occupied some portion of the attention of the author since 1855, and he has from time to time published his results in the Canadian Naturalist and Geologist, and elsewhere. In 1872 the subject up to that time was summed up in a pamphlet of about 100 pages, entitled Notes on the Post-pliocene of Canada, now out of print, but since that date no general work on the subject has appeared, though many separate memoirs and papers have been issued by the author and other Canadian geologists. These papers include a large mass of information bear ing on the history of the northern half of the continent of North America in that Ice-age which was in some sense peculiarly its own and as this material is difficult of access both to geologists and to the general public, no excuse seems necessary for attempting to collect it in a convenient form.
