Pear Fernald:- 
I have your letter of the 15th. 
I am glad that you and Podge take the attitude that you do 
regarding the heights of the different summits. When I saw 
therths altitudes given tn the "Dictionary" referred to I got 
a little shaky as to possibilities, particularly as I advo¬ 
cated the higher figures when I last saw you. That is the 
principal reason for writing you about them. 
I have constructed a map-nf the Logan range that we worked 
over and am now having it phoa^ated so as to send copy to each 
member of the party for CORRECTION. I hope to get a copy to 
you before the end of the week. I want to take this opportu¬ 
nity to say something about this map. The full circle of 
views (panorams) w^as taken only at three places-Logan, 
north end of Mattaouisse and the west end of the Mattaouisse 
range (I think you and Podge suggested "Collins” for this 
scrub barren west of the saddle, and I have so labeled it on 
this preliminary map). Similarly I have labeled the small 
pealfc onj the "Hanging Valley” after Griscom, and the small 
one next south of "Griscom” and south of the pond source 
of the "700 ft." cascade after Podge. I think you suggested 
all of these names but I may have misunderstood you regarding 
them. However, this preliminary map is intended merely as a 
basis for individual criticism. As all the panorams were 
taken alogg one general line they are, of course, of no real 
value for triangulation purposes and the whole map has had 
to be constructed from the photographs without much consider¬ 
ation of triangulation. 
Since my return from Gasp6 I have been pretty busy 
catching up on official matters so have not paid much attention 
to getting the mosses and fungi straightened outjsuxfidiently 
to estimate the number of labels. I had been going on the 
supposition that I would probably get out my own labels 
independently. As I am not in a position just at present to 
give an estimate of this sort perhaps it will be just as well 
to handle the matter in this way, more particularly as I want 
to make some lantern slides from the negatives as soon as 
possible. Yesterday X completed making up the sets of prints 
for Griscom, Mackenzie and Pease and expect to send them off 
this evening. The making of the prints has been spread out 
over two months or more, as time permitted, and I am now 
anxious to get at the lantern slides which will have to be 
handled at odd times, as available time occurs. 
Sincerely, 
YrG
