306 LIFE OF SIR JOHN LUBBOCK oh.xx... 



Another reason for doing this very roughly at first is 

 that I am not sure what depths of water should be taken. 



This would test my idea. It might show the Rocky

 of N. China and Kamchatka seem roughly to reproduce 

 the features of the Malay Archipelago.

 Council had made heavy calls on his time. 

 Nevertheless, although he was Chairman instead 

 of " Vice," I do not think that he found it quite 

 so exacting as in its first year.
