Extract

The members of Mr. E. A. FitzGrerald's expedition to the Chilian. Andesin1896–7 made a rather large collection of rock specimens from the higher regions, which has been entrusted to me for examination. The descriptions will be published in Mr. FitzGerald's forthcoming book, but as two are exceptionally interesting I wish them to appear in the Geological Magazine.

page 3 note 2 Two peaks of greater elevation in the Himalayas are said to have been climbed, but in each case much doubt exists as to the accuracy of the identification. Pending the determination of the heights lately reached in the Bolivian Andes by Sir M. Conway, and perhaps in any case, Aconcagua is the highest peak which has been certainly scaled.
