To A. C. Ramsay 5 September [1862]
Summary
On ACR’s paper on glacial origin of lakes. CD thinks it is correct. Suggests further investigation to corroborate it. His only doubt has to do with areas of great activity.
On ACR’s view of cause of glacial period: CD did battle with Hooker on same point.
T. F. Jamieson has smashed CD’s Glen Roy marine theory in splendid style.

Sends his paper [on glacial lakes, see 3450]. Falconer attacked it. Falconer thinks Himalayas confound the theory, but Hooker writes that it explains the absence of lakes there.
