  ANOTHEK 
  POSSIBLE 
  CAUSE 
  OF 
  THE 
  GLACIAL 
  EPOCH.

  sociate 
  his 
  argument 
  from 
  the 
  conclusions 
  of 
  Prof. 
  Spencer 
  ; 
  and 
  as 
  

   regards 
  these 
  conclusions, 
  they 
  had 
  not 
  been 
  challenged 
  by 
  any 
  

   American 
  geologists 
  with 
  whom 
  he 
  had 
  been 
  able 
  to 
  confer, 
  nor 
  by 
  

   Mr. 
  Jukes-Browne, 
  who 
  had 
  reviewed 
  Prof. 
  Spencer's 
  memoirs 
  in 
  the 
  

   pages 
  of 
  the 
  ' 
  Geological 
  Magazine/ 
  

  

  Eeplying 
  to 
  Dr. 
  Blanford 
  with 
  reference 
  to 
  his 
  remarks 
  on 
  the 
  

   Pleistocene 
  extension 
  of 
  the 
  Himalayan 
  g]aciers, 
  of 
  which 
  he 
  (the 
  

   Author) 
  had 
  been 
  fully 
  aware, 
  it 
  seemed 
  to 
  him 
  that 
  any 
  great 
  

   refrigeration 
  of 
  the 
  climate 
  over 
  Western 
  and 
  Northern 
  Europe 
  

   would 
  extend 
  its 
  influence 
  even 
  into 
  the 
  heart 
  of 
  Asia. 
  At 
  the 
  same 
  

   time 
  the 
  objection 
  was 
  not 
  very 
  easy 
  to 
  meet, 
  except 
  by 
  supposing 
  

   an 
  elevation 
  of 
  this 
  region 
  to 
  a 
  greater 
  extent 
  than 
  at 
  present.
