The First Record of Glacial Action in Tasmania

IN a recent paper on the Glacial geology of Tasmania (Quart. Journ. Geol. Soc., vol. ix. p. 38), I referred to Gould's recognition of Glacial action in Tasmania as not having been directly

published. This view I accepted on the strength of the statement by Mr. R. M. Johnston (“The Glacial Epoch of Australasia,” Proc. Roy. Soc. Tasmania, vol. iv., 1893, 1894, pp. 92–3), than

whom no one knows better the geological literature of Tasmania, that it was “through, verbal communication to a personal friend of my own, and one of his (i.e. Gould's) early associates,

that I first, about 20 years ago, became aware of his discovery of many evidences of glaciation in Tasmania.”
