First appeared in Dorothy Woster Brandwein, "Divisi Fingering in Selected Passages from Ravel's Solo Piano Works" (DMA diss., University of Missouri–Kansas City, 1981), 56, 96.

56: “Ravel frequently wrote glissandi to be played on the white or black keys of the piano. Although the glissando in "Ondine" (Example 40) is written entirely on the lower staff, the right hand can continue the upward sweep, as shown, with no audible interruption.”
