It has been found impossible at this stage to compile a complete bibliography fur the period immediately preceding the war to date, and additions to the following list will be made in due course. It contains for the most part reference to non-polar works. Attention is drawn to the bibliographies in the Polar Record which deal mainly with polar literature. Readcrs will greatly assist the Editors by notifying them of their own, or any other, publication of glaciological interest.

Copies of papers marked* are available for distribution. There are also a few copies of each of about a dozen of the papers written by the late R. M. Deeley between the years 1888 and 1918, dealing mainly with Glacier Flow and the Viscosity of Glacier Ice. These have considerable historic interest.

All the above will be sent free to members on application to the Secretary.
