Dr. Jeffreys drew a picture of an unending flow of heat outwards through the earth's crust towards the surface, with radio-activity within the crust as the main source of heat.
The amount of heat coming from the earth's molten Interior was, he stated, relatively unim- portant
The last Ice age ended about 10,000 years ago, he declared at the meeting. Yet even now its exects must extend to a depth of a mile or so below the surface. They are shown in a ten per cent. reduction in the rate at which the crust increases as greater depths are reached.

It is suggested that the body's normal power to replace worn out cells with new cells of the parti- cular kinds required may be a sort of "hang over" from the 'original work of the chemical organisers at embryo growth. The control weakens, and cancer is the result.
