DISCOVERY OF GLACIERS ON THE PACIFIC
COAST AT the regular meeting OF the Con
nectlcut Academy, IN New Haven, on Wednes-
day last, an informal but highly important
communicable was made by Mr. Clarence
King, concerning some recent discoveries mp
on the famous peaks of the Pacific coast,
Mount Shasta, Mount Rainer, and Mount
Hood. 1t would be hardly fair, without bis
authority, to give minute account of these
observations but there can be no improprie.
~ in reporting that during The last autumn,
MIR. King and his associates, in three parties,
discovered the existence OF active glaciers
where they had never bs fore been noticed, on
the northern slopes of Mount Shasta in Cali
fornia, as well as on Mount Rainier in Wash
ington, and Mount Hood i'll Oregon. Another
season he hopes TO pursue 1hese inquiries even
as far north as Mount st. Elias.
This is the first instance in which, within
all the territory OF the United States ALASKA,

been found, though in the East, rs Well as IN
the West, there are SO many indications of
