vae oae dlffi<fulty vitM t!he Hature Ma^astine. fitey vould not ^ve a« 
More epaoe, and eoae pictures I aiiced of Mr. Svett did not reaoM laa 
in tiffle for the rotofasnire eappleraent, to hi^ ptfoiish thoso at ioae 
future date. I eoaetliOAs feel that neither your artloie tior sdne 
reached the proper »aa at the (JeograpMo SodLsty, or else he didn*t

whatever pioturea you ooold let ae have would not he pcdillshed unless

lie frcj® the flsaingo pool? If Qaptein Hancoolc heads hack to the CNslap* 
agos this winter 1 espect to he a oeaher of the party, and I would 
certainly take pains to get those inscslptlons if I can readily iowate 
them, I shall also hear in mind what you any about Oowley llomtain. 
I would liks^othlng better than to ^ along on some trip 
with you, for ym. folks saw a great deal more and got more intimately 
acquainted with the islands than any other grot^?, Oiq^tain Bancot^ 
has always fought siy of Iguana Oove and the fillamil landing, ie 
has had so mso^ unfavorable rejKjrts shout the prospects of snaring
