| Summary: | In the following pages the writer has attempted to collate the records of boulders of Scandinavian origin which are scattered through many publications. The lists of boulders in Table C of this paper are an amplified version of similar lists drawn up by T. Sheppard in 1895, and, in addition, lists of percentages of various types of boulders are shown in Tables A and B, those in A having been already recorded, while those in B are original. From a study of the statistics set out below the writer has ventured to make certain suggestions with regard to the debated question of the extension of a Scandinavian ice-sheet over Britain. |
