So far as the writer can ascertain, all the glaciers in the Canadian 

 Alps are now in a phase of retreat. Certainly all that he has person- 

 ally observed in the last 15 years are in this condition. Among them 

 may be mentioned the following : 



Swift Current Victoria 



Fraser Sir Sandford 



Columbia Adamant 



King Edward Coldstream 



Serenity Palmer 



Coronet Illecillewaet 



Unwin Asulkan 



Nameless (at S. end Maligne Geikie 



Lake) Bishops 



Conway Deville 



Freshfield Battle 



The Wenkchemna glacier has been reported to have exhibited 

 signs of advance during this period, but the writer has not seen it. 

 The Clemenceau, a very large glacier situated southwest of Fortress 

 Lake, is recently reported to be essentially stagnant at an advanced 

 stage, close up to its terminal moraine. It does not appear to have 

 receded at all for a long period.
