FOOTNOTES:
[1] By this term we shall in future understand only that part of it
which is responsible for thermal effects.
[2] If the figure of the earth is adjusted to its speed of rotation
before the development of ice-sheets, the latter renders it too
prolate, and there will be a tendency for readjustment by the
transference of mass towards the equator.
[3] This has been the subject of much discussion recently. For a
summary see _Science Progress_, 17, 1922, October, p. 233.

ancestor was a nocturnal animal, whose food supply was governed by
the phases of the moon.
