Yearly mass balance data for 85 glaciers in 13 of the 31 mountain glacier systems designated in Meier's (1984) paper are averaged for the years 1965–1984. Average rates of volume change for the 13 regions are compared to Meier's (1984) estimates of glacial melting. These data cover regions that account for about 74 per cent of the volume change estimated to have occurred in all the 31 mountain glacier systems from 1900 to 1984.
