Abstract
DR. MEYER has been giving an account of his ascent of Kilimanjaro to the Berlin Geographical Society, and from the brief abstract which has appeared his statements are not quite consistent with those made in his letter already referred to. For one thing, Alpinists are doubtful if Dr. Meyer got so close to the summit by a thousand feet as he himself thinks he did; and moreover, from his own statements, his aneroid was quite untrustworthy.
