Abstract
It has been shown by the work of many observers, in Scotland, Ireland, north-western England and the Isle of Man that during the Glacial Period the basin of the Irish Sea must have been filled with an ice-sheet. It is not probable, therefore, that the interesting speculations of Dr. Scharf on the origin of the Irish fauna (NATURE, October 28, 1897), in so far as they are based upon assumptions as to the glacial conditions of the Irish Sea, will meet with much acceptance among geologists.
