The drawings on the following pages were made by Dr. R. Streiff-Becker (Zürich) for one of the Editors in order to illustrate an article to be published elsewhere. They show the relationship between a glaciated area and the living glaciers which moulded it. A district covered by living glaciers is conveniently described as “glacierized.” Wright and Priestley used this term in their Glaciologẏ (p. 134), for land “inundated by ice” (German Vereist). It should prove valuable in antithesis to “glaciated.”
