So Institució Catalana d'Historia Natural 



yotir language is unfamiliar to me. I have lexicons of many languaje, 

 but not of the langusge of your region. 



Still it has been possible for me to understand much of what you 

 have written respecting Dr. Almera, who is four years younger 

 than I am. It was my misfortune that we never met. I was told that 

 he was a delegate to the Geological Congress at Paris in 1900, but 

 I coul not find him. It was a disappointement, for the excellence of 

 his work was will known to me. 



Please congratulate him for me, upon his long and successfule 

 career in sciencie. This world is better because he has lived in it. He 

 has added lustre to your venerable Academy of Sciences. 



I regret exceedingly that I am not acquainted with your language. 

 Your discussion of Ozokerite woned no douot be very useful in my 

 study of the carbon minerals. 



With best wishes I am. 



Sincereu yours, 



J. J. Stevenson.
