implest, the soundest, and the best."--_Chicago Inter-Ocean._ =THE GREAT ICE AGE, and its Relations to the Antiquity of Man.= By JAMES GEIKIE, F.R.S. E. With Maps, Charts, and numerous Illustrations. 1 vol., thick 12mo. Price, $2.50. "'The Great Ice Age' is a work of extraordinary interest and value.
