Notes and Correspondence. 8i 



The Club is indebted to Dr. G. K. Gilbert, of the U. S. 

 Geological Survey, for an album of fine photographs illustrat- 

 ing geological phenomena of the Kern River and Tuolumne 

 Meadow region. He has also kindly donated several pho- 

 tographs of Sierra glaciers, to form a nucleus for a collection 

 of such photographs to be made by the Club. Both these sets 

 may be seen at the Club rooms. 



Mr. Geo. Fiske, the renowned photographer of Yosemite, 

 has kindly presented the Club with a fine set of photographs 

 of the Le Conte Lodge. 



Mr. Geo. P. Tallant, one of our members who is at present 

 in Europe, has generously sent the Club, from Switzerland, 

 an Alpine ice-ax and a pair of snow-shoes, besides other 

 articles of interest. 



We acknowledge the receipt, with the author's compli- 

 ments, of "Forest Trees and Forest Scenery," by G. Fred- 

 erick Schwarz. Unfortunately this attractive-looking vol- 

 ume comes too late for further mention in this issue.
