GLAGIAE STUDIES IN GREENEAND. 209 
are free from snow in midsummer; and scattered vegetation 
makes them the haunt of the reindeer. On the north side, how- 
ever, there are several diminutive glaciers that are notable for 
the smallness of their collecting grounds and the steepness of 
their descents. This is perhaps sufficiently illustrated in the 
accompanying figure to make description needless. (Fig. 18). 
This one is so small, so simple, so self-explanatory, as to almost 
suggest its removal toa museum for illustrative purposes. Small 
as it is, the fine curvation of its lines of movement is ample

which the illustration is derived was taken on one of the last 
days of July, and the melting of August doubtless removed

of the illustration and left still more simplified and expressive 
the little lobular glacierette, the Baby glacier.

of note as an indication of the smoothness of the summit plain, 
which is a part of that previously mentioned as a characteristic 
of the region. This is too smooth, however, to be quite repre- 
sentative. The glacier here illustrated lies near the western end
