IN the interesting narrative of the cruise of the Challenger that appeared in NATURE (vol. xiv. p. 93), the wind-formed rocks and drift of the Bermudas are referred to. This probably will call attention to the much-neglected subject of wind driftage; but I sincerely trust Prof. Thomson and his Colleague will discard such an ill-advised name as ``sand-glaciers'' for the inundations of ``Æolian'' or ``blowing sands.'' The term glacier belongs to ice; beside, these sand-streams do not act like glaciers, their advance being more similar to that of a lava flow.
