summary:
  These exist abundantly in most regions which have been covered with glacial ice, and are referred to in Scotland as _kames_, in Ireland as _eskers_, and in Sweden as _osars_. Owing to the absence of high lands and mountains, however, it is not covered with perpetual snow, much less with glacial ice, but its level portions are carpeted with grasses and flowers, and sustain extensive forests of stunted trees.

summary:
  It might, therefore, be held that the early Baltic glacier was separated by no long interval of time from the succeeding great _mer de glace_, but may have been merely a stage in the development of the latter. The ice coming from the Welsh mountains would naturally be deflected towards south-east by the _mer de glace_ that streamed in that direction, and might quite well have carried its characteristic boulders as far as Birmingham before the general _mer de glace_ had attained its greatest dimensions.

summary:
  We know that Greenland was not always covered with snow and ice, for when we examine the Tertiary strata of Disco Island (of the Upper Miocene period) we discover there a multitude of fossil plants, which demonstrate that, like many other parts of the arctic regions, it formerly enjoyed a mild and genial climate. Among the accompanying animals found fossil in the same bone-earth, were observed Elephas primigenius, Rhinoceros tichorhinus, Ursus spelaeus, Bos primigenius, Megaceros hibernicus, Cervus tarandus (and other species of Cervus), Felis spelaea, Canis lupus, Canis vulpes, and teeth and bones of the genus Equus in great numbers.

summary:
  Thus, _D. dominica_ comes as far as the middle Eastern States, _D. coerulea_ keeps west of the Alleghanies, _D. discolor_ comes to Michigan and New England; four other species go farther north in Canada, while several extend to the borders of the Arctic zone. _V. lutea_ itself is considered to be a form of _V. tricolor_, and _V. amoena_
