Yamasaki — Glaciation of Japan Mountains. 137 



fauna and flora. Of course it is not our aim to attack the 

 problem of glaciation and subordinate questions from 

 only the geographical point of view. Help from geology, 

 paleontology, astronomy, climatology, biology and all 

 allied sciences must be cordially accepted. Especially 

 necessary are actual observations and comparative study 

 of the data. To such research, I am sure, this Conference 

 will give the best opportunities, and I beg you, gentlemen, 

 to kindly help me with your valuable suggestions as to the 

 present subject.
