An illuminating paper on the “art of presentation” of scientific results in oral and written form.

1909. The Systematic Description of Land Forms. Geogr. Jour., Vol. XXXIV, pp. 300-318.

1909. Glacial Erosion in North Wales. Quart. Jour. Geol. Soc., Vol. LXV, pp. 281-350.

1910. Experiments in Geographical Description. Bull. Amer. Geogr. Soc., Vol. XLII, pp. 401-435.

1911. The Colorado Front Range. A Study in Physiographic Presentation. Ann. Associa. Amer. Geogr., Vol. I, pp. 21-83.

The four preceding papers are in many respects models of presentation. They exemplify the process method applied to regions, a phase of much importance in certain ecologic studies, particularly ecological surveys. The last two papers are rather detailed applications of the same ideas. A very profitable study may be made of the method of presentation in these papers.
