Abstract
DR. J. S. LEE, the well-known Chinese geologist, has sent to the Editor of NATURE the proofs of a monograph entitled "Quaternary Glaciations in the Lushan Area, Central China" with a series of photographs, intended in the first place for publication in vol. 2, ser. B, of Academia Sinica. Its transfer to England by air transport, with the request that it be placed in the safe custody of a responsible geological institution, conjures up a lively sense of the present and future state of affairs in China ; which aspect, however, has no part in this article except in its bearing on the future publication of the monograph. Another aspect, and one having some significance, is that one would scarcely expect Dr. Lee to take such care to ensure the preservation of this material and to have it brought to the critical notice of expert glacialists, if he were not confident of the prime importance of his latest investigations in the Lushan mountain massif.
