Abstract
MR. HEMSLEY is mistaken in stating, as he does on p. 623 of NATURE for October 24, 1895, that Dr. G. Baur was attached to the U.S. Fish Commission Steamer Albatross. Dr. Baur had no connection with the Albatross Expedition of 1891, the object of which was deep-sea dredging, and only included an incidental visit of a few days to the Galapagos. Nor did Dr. Baur write the general sketch of that expedition, or have anything to do with the photographs which accompany it, as one might infer from a subsequent note by Mr. Hemsley on the Cactaceæ of the Galapagos (NATURE, November 14, 1895, p. 31).
