To the Editor of the Norru-Curva Dany News, Sim,—From your most interesting article in your issue ai the 4th instant on Mr. W.
Rockbill's recent journey in Tibet, I gather that that gentleman informed you that he "had brought back a large number of interesting photographs, 3,000 odd miles a series of astronomical all of which will go to the Smithsonian Institution at Washington,"
I notice this latter statement with the view of drawing attention to the fact that Mr. Rockhill was assisted in his journey by a grant of £300 from the Royal Geographical Society of London, and that, this society has at least an equal claim to the results of the intrepid traveller's work, Your readers will doubtless be glad to seo in this connection that Me. Pratt has received £100 from the Royal Geographical Society towards his contemplated journey across Brazil and in recognition of his explorations on the Tibetan border.
Tam, ete.,
