THE MUSEUM. 



be determined until they have been 

 examined and compared with other 

 material. The country in which these 

 have been procured is the roughest 

 and most difficult to traverse that I 

 have ever seen, and my experience in 

 the various mountain ranges of North 

 America has been very extensive. A 

 great portion of the Olympians is ab- 

 solutely impassible, and we have 

 reached a point beyond which nothing, 

 unless provided with wings, can go, 

 while from our camp we can look over 

 a vast extent of the range totally un- 

 known and unapproachable. A nat- 

 uralist, therefore, can fully appreciate 

 the value of the material we have se- 

 cured. Even if already known, speci- 

 mens coming from such localities are 

 of almost as much value as if unde- 

 scribed, and will prove of great assist- 

 ance in settling questions of geographi- 

 cal distribution and others of equal 

 importance. So-ikes and batrachians 

 are not plenty in the range, but we 

 have secured some of both, which I 

 am sure will prove of much interest, 

 and I hope to be able to obtain some 

 of the fishes of this region."
