VVenkchemna, Yoho, in the Rockies, and the Illecillewaet and Asulkan 

 in the Selkirks, the period covered being between 1902 and 1905. 

 About half the space is devoted to the Victoria glacier. See also 

 " Nature and Activity of Canadian Glaciers," by W. H. Sherzer, 

 Canadian Alpine Journal, Vol. I, No. 2, pp. 249-263. Another general 

 discussion of the glaciers in the Canadian Rockies and Selkirks is 

 contained in a paper " Notes on Glaciers," by A. O. Wheeler, Cana- 

 dian Alpine Journal, 1920, Vol. XI, pp. 121-146. 



Detailed studies of the surface velocity and frontal retreat of the 

 Illecillewaet glacier were made over a long period by Messrs. George 

 and William S. Vaux, and continued by Miss Mary M. Vaux. See the 

 following articles : " Glacier Observations," by George Vaux, Jr. and 

 William S. Vaux, Canadian Alpine Journal, Vol. I, No. i, 1907, pp. 

 138-148, with map; "Observations on Glaciers, 1909," by George 

 Vaux, Jr., Can. Alp. J., Vol. II, No. 2, pp. 126-130; " Observations 

 on Glaciers, 1910," by Mary M. Vaux, Canadian Alpine Journal, 

 Vol. Ill, p. 127; "Observations on Glaciers," by Mary M. Vaux, 

 Canadian Alpine Journal, Vol. V, p. 59. These papers also report 

 observations on the Asulkan glacier. 



The surface velocity and retreat of the Yoho glacier were observed 

 continuously between 1906 and 1919 by A. O. Wheeler, and reported 

 in the pages of the Canadian Alpine Journal, Vol. I to Vol. XI. See 

 Vol. XI (1920), p. 182, for a summary of these observations and 

 measurements. 



The only other glaciers that have been studied are the Robson, 

 the Sir Sand ford, and the Freshfield. Descriptions and measurements 

 of the retreat of the first named are reported in the following papers : 

 " Geology and Glacial Features of Mt. Robson," by A. P. Coleman, 

 Can. Alp. Journal, Vol. II, No. 2, pp. 108-113; "Robson Glacier 

 Measurements," by A. O. Wheeler, Can. Alp. Journal, Vol. IV, 1912, 

 pp. 44-45 ; " Robson Glacier," by A. O. Wheeler, Can. Alp. Journal, 

 Vol. VI, 1915, p. 139; "Motion of Robson Glacier," by A. O. 

 Wheeler, Can. Alp. Journal, Yo\. XIII, 1923. p. 158. No measure- 

 ments of surface velocity have been performed on the Robson glacier. 



The Sir Sand ford was mapped and observed by the writer in 19 10. 

 The next year its surface velocity was measured. See " Observations 

 on the Sir Sandford Glacier, 191 1," Geographical Journal, May 1912, 

 Vol. XXXIX, pp. 446-453. Work was continued in 1912, the sur- 

 face velocity being redetermined on the same line. See " Mountaineer- 

 ing and Exploration in the Selkirks," by H. Palmer, Putnam, 1914,
