observed during the summer, with discussions of the elements of 
beauty conspicuous in them; also lists of photographs of peculiar 
excellence, and descriptions of interesting pictures. It is desirable

Exploration—While we have a general knowledge of the Ap- 
palachian region, and know something of its topography, geology 
and natural history, there are large areas of which we have no 
specific knowledge. To make observations and collect facts of 
scientific interest in any part of the region where no scientific 
man has ever been comes legitimately within the scope of Ex- 
ploration. For suggestions in the matter of exploration, the at- 
tention of the members of the Club is called especially to Ap- 
palachia, No. 1, p. 49; No. 2, p.117; No. 3, p. 189; No. 4, p. 282. 
In the last, reference is made to a circular which has been pre- 
pared for the purpose of recording observations. Those who ex- 
pect to visit any mountain during the summer are requested to 
obtain copies of this circular from the Secretary. 
Members of the Club have already signified their intention of 
making explorations in the Adirondacks, the valley of the East 
Branch of the Pemigewasset, the region of Mount Katahdin, and 
other interesting localities. ` 
ny member of the Club who intends making explorations 1n 
a region new to them, and wishes information as to what 1s 
already known of the region and the points that seem especially 
desirable to study, will have such questions answered as far as 
the Councillor of Exploration is able to give the desired informa- 
. tion. Address Box 1914, Boston, Mass. J. H. Huntington,
