Obergfell, O.-Clothbound, fine copy. ¶ These pages originally appeared as one of the chapters in 'Peaks, Passes, and Glaciers', by the members of the Alpine Club. This will account for the appearance of one or two brief passages not essential to the scientific bearing of the subject. Part one (p. 7-34, with 3 text illustrations) is on the old glaciers of Switzerland. This treatise is useful, not only to the geologist specially interested in the study of British glacial phenomena, but also in some degree to the less scientific tourist who explores the mountains and valleys of North Wales. Illustrated with engraved views and diagrams, and one large two-colour folding map 'Sketch Map showing the course of the glaciers of Snowdon and its neighbourhood, by A.C. Ramsay'.
