based on pollen stratigraphy and in part on intervening layers of glacial drift. 

 The Weichselian of the Netherlands has correlatives other than glacial drift in 

 eastern England, and in northwestern England drift of probable Weichselian 

 age is present. 



A generalized sequence for the region of the Alps is shown in Table II. 

 Mainly because it was the first sequence with any pretence to completeness to 

 apjjear in the literature, it has become "classical," and its names have been 

 applied, in some cases with little justification, to stratigraphy outside the Alps.
