Club men take all mountains for their province. The club was still compara- lively young when Messrs. Douglas Freshfield and A. w. Moore broke new ground in the Caucasus, where they have since had such successors as Crawford Grove, A. F. Mummery and Clinton Dent. It was not great deal older when the Rev, w. s. Green got to within a few feet of the top of Mount Cook in the Alps of New Zealand, de- scending only to undertake, at brief interval of time, further ascents in the Selkfrk range of British Columbia---a region in which good work has been done by Dr Norman Collie and others.
 The Andes, again, had hardly been climbed at all since Humboldt's time, when MT. Whymper went to Ecuador and climbed Chimborazo, and there have been several subsequent expedi- tions of great importance, including those of Sir Martin Conway and Mir Fitzgerald. In Africa John Ball ex- plored the Atlas, MT Mackinder led a party to the top of Kenia, and though 1t was the Duke of the Abruzzi who ultimately conquered the Ruwenzori- peaks. Messrs. Mumm and Freshfield very nearly forestalled him. Finally. of course, there are the Himalayas. There the work has of late years been con- tinuous.
 "The Alpine Club has achieved more than the Indian survey ever attempted, converting Lord Curzon himself to an interest in climbing for climbing's sake, and being only prevented by po- ltical considerations from organizing a party to attack Mount Everest. This is a very fine record for cub devoid of'all official status We doubt whether any other club has ever done so much in so short time for any other sp
