meat-tin at some place intended to be repassed, it was 
accidentally left on the top. Doubtless this tin will be 
found by the next traveller who ascends, and will tell 
its story in a somewhat similar manner to that in 
which a medicine bottle left on the top by Mr. CROMER, 
did to Mr. DRESSEL. This bottle was found by him, or 
rather was pointed out to him by the Indians who as- 
cended with him, one of whom, the so-called "dodlor" at 
Teroota, declared that he had ascended both with Mr. 
IM THURN and with Mr. CROMER. The medicine bottle, 
however, gave more explicit information, than the meat- 
tin can possibly give under the circumstances ; for inside 
was a piece of paper bearing Mr. CROMER'S name, and 
stating that he had ascended the mountain on the 3rd 
November, 1886, under most difficult and dangerous 
circumstances. To this Mr DRESSEL added his name 
with the date of his ascent. The meat-tin, on the con- 
trary, when found, might not even contain the bones of 
the small toad. 
A third animal form was found in the moist earth 
attached to some plants which had been pulled up, a

from his description it is certainly not a centipede, but a 
millipede, allied to the Julus } the little dark and close- 
ringed worm, with very numerous and close legs, found 
commonly curled up in a ball under stones etc., in moist, 
situations. This specimen gradually separated into its 
constituent rings — as happens with all such forms unless 
they be well taken care of — and was, unfortunately, 
eventually thrown away as useless. With such forms 
as the above, inhabiting the land, the water and the air, 
it is not too much to expeft that, at some not very
