Great success so far. Sir William a dear! Have spoken already at the B. A. A. and asked by Sir David Gill the Pres. to speak at the R. A. S. Invited to Germany to speak at Treptow close to Berlin through Lohse. More anon.

Dodged over to lunch in Italy. Wonder what they do on Mars!

The crosses represent the points reached in our ascent of the Peaks yesterday, the most perfect day imaginable. Fremont was my objective point; Dr. Slipher wished to leave a maximum and a minimum thermometer on Agassiz, which he did. Fremont was cozily hospitable as a Pieris occidentalis, and I both found. We had quite an interchange of views, both inspecting the other. On the E. (crater) slope of Agassiz I found Jumper communis. Thus I was doubly rewarded.
