In my last essay I had occasion to refer to the former existence of icebergs in localities which now lie in latitudes lower than those in which glacial action is known to have reached, even during the last Glacial period. But, surprising as it may be to find evidence of glacial action within a few degrees of, and, as in the case of the Eowen Eiver Coal-field, a few degrees within, the tropics, this sinks into insignificance in the face of the evidences of repeated Glacial periods that may be found in India, and especially in the Himalayas.
