Mr. Huntington, was met with on my journey, there was an unmistakable discord-
ance between certain valleys. We hope to show that a differential glacial record
was inevitable on mountains subjected to the differential uplift such as we find
recorded by various degrees of block-faulting and tilting. With the Alai Moun-
tains, we have a region that has
been uplifted some thousands of
feet, faulted on the north and bor-
dered there by rows of uptilted
piedmonts. It is a significant fact
that Mr. Huntington found a uni-
versal correspondence of variations
in climate (by attributing valley ter-
races to climatic change) and yet
no correspondence at all between
valley glaciers. We can not, how-
ever, believe that the glaciers of
Central Asia were independent of
Central Asia's climatic change. If
it were merely a disagreement be-
tween valleys of different elevation,
between high valleys now occupied and low ones now glacier empty and between
empty valleys of different height, the matter might be argued independent of
uplift. But such is not the case. Out of twenty-four valleys scarcely any two
of the same height agree; and there are instances of valleys near together and
of the same height disagreeing several epochs. It will be understood that most
