"I'm going to dinner Chambelin was next us (Lawson, Clemen, Reid, Cleland and a Chambelin) 2m) and he brought out the idea that the ocean is the first balancer. The ocean with favourable conditions can absorb 30 atmospheres. It was particularly noticeable how Fred carefully avoided the name of Chambelin and that he did not in the least refer to the oceans as an absorber of CO2. Nor did he refer to the interglacial conditions a fact not easily shown. This very remarkable since Willis has found Cambrian glacial till how the same turning of weather and has our geologists are now thinking of geological climates. This just alertness is due in the first place to Cham- belin and hardly at all to Tyndall and Arthurs. It is also remarkable that the Continental geologists either do not know or purposefully evade the name of Chambelin.
