Abstract
THE annexed illustration is reproduced from a photograph taken by me on August 16, 1890, when the lake was empty. How long it had been so, or how long it continued, I cannot say. So far as my memory serves me, there was no water whatever in it, and I distinctly recollect noticing the icebergs lying high and dry on the bottom. I walked along what had been the margin of the lake on my way to the Aletsch glacier, which I ascended to the Concordia Hut. I hope the photograph may be of interest to Dr. Preller, and others who know the lake.
