Wäber I.88; Neate G03; not in Perret. Galton (1822-1911), a half-cousin of Charles Darwin, was something of a polymath, with a passing interest in mountaineering. The present volume, the first of three separately published works by this title (others appeared for the years 1861 and 1862), includes his account of a visit to the Pyrenees while in northern Spain to observe a solar eclipse. Other articles in this volume were contributed by J. J. Cowell on the Graian Alps, Leslie Stephen on the Allelein-Horn, F.V. Hawkins on his 1860 Matterhorn attempt with John Tyndall, and Tyndall’s own account of his Æggischhorn traverse.
