If you go down with Hancock this winter you ought to 
try and get him to take a look at Cowley Mountain. You can 
anchor off Cowley Island in perfect safety and land right at 
the foot of the mountain. This mountain is different from the 
rest of them and has the slope you land on a clear field of 
pumice. You travel over pumice a long way up the slope and 
around the rim of the crater fin(^ forest of sv/ord grass. 
Of course, there is not a great deal around there, but it 
shows a type of Galapagos count it you will not see elsewhere. 
I thought by this time we would he seeing in the 'Museum Hews 
that you were on the way to Los Angeles to ^o in. the YSLERO III. 
However, now that the Ritters have gone the Enchanted Islands may 
have lost some of their charm for him. It may be possible that 
my article will come out in the December Natural History, so 
you might keep your eye open for that issue if you are not 
in the Galapagos. 1*11 be glad to know if you think it should 
have passed inspection. 
Very truly yours.
