brown, and with the edges somewhat
worn down from 4 600 years o! wear

OF the end of glacier in Mount Ara -

latitudes, is 1888 feet above the
sea leve! and 1920 feet above it's
base. For more than 1000 eet be-
low its summit it is constantly cover
ed with snow and ice, and Is presum-
ably inhabited by glaciers,

THE DISCOVERY
IS not as explicit Az it might onso in-

glacIers move, but there will now be
new light thrown on the matter.
