Extract

Having read with much interest Mr. Murphy's papers in the journal of the Geological Society for 1869 (p. 350) and for 1876 (p. 400), in which he maintains that at the time of maximum excentricity of the Earth's orbit that hemisphere would be glaciated which had its winter in aphelion, as against Mr. Croll, whose theory is that the glaciated hemisphere would be that which had its summer in aphelion: it has occurred to me that I have never seen, in this discussion, any reference to the case of the planet Mars.
