PHOTOGRAPHS 5 



The geographer who shall undertake in the future to study 

 the variation of Alaska glaciers will have use not only for 

 the fuller details of the original photographs but for a 

 more complete series, and the following information is 

 given for his benefit. 



Of the many series of photographs made by the mem- 

 bers of the Expedition, three may be regarded as public, 

 and these also contain the most important records of the 

 glaciers. Mr. E. S. Curtis, the official photographer of 

 the Expedition, made the largest and best views, and keeps 

 them on sale at his photographic establishment in Seattle, 

 Washington. The negatives made by Dr. C. Hart Mer- 

 riam are filed at the office of the Biological Survey, U. S. 

 Department of Agriculture, Washington, D. C. My own 

 negatives are filed at the office of the U. S. Geological 

 Survey, Washington, D. C., where a set of prints may be 

 seen and prints from negatives may be ordered.

 are as follows, the year 1899 being understood in each
