IV.—Glaciated Valleys in the Faroes

Extract

The interesting paper by Mr. Harker in the GeologicalMagazine of May, 1899, on “Glaciated Valleys in Skye,” recalls to my mind many similar observations I made in the Faroes in the Summer of 1894. Not only are the valleys excavated out of homogeneous rocks, but the Faroes, like the Cuillins, had a glaciation of their own. It may be advisable, then, to call attention to some points which resemble those referred to by Mr. Harker, as well as others which are not seen in Skye.
