Classc, Bd. xcvii. Abth. i., 1888.
314 THE GLACIAL SUCCESSION IN EUROPE.
of the snow-line could not have been less than 1200 metres. These observations have been extended to many other parts of the Alps, and the conclusion arrived at by- Professor Penck and his colleagues, Professor Bruckner and Dr. Bohm, is briefly this — that the maximum glaciation of those regions did not fall in the " first " but in the " second " Alpine glacial epoch.
The glacial phenomena of northern and central Europe ar...e so similar — the climatic oscillations which appear to have taken place had so much in common, and were on so grand a scale — that we cannot doubt they were synchronous. We may feel sure, therefore, that the epoch of maximum glaciation in the Alps was contemporaneous with the similar epoch in the north. And if this be so, then in the oldest ground-moraines of the Alps we have the records of an earlier glacial epoch than that which is represented by the lower boulder-clays of Britain and the corresponding latitudes of the Continent.
