There is a bottle clumsily but I think securely corked containing water and gas from the hot baths of Cauquenes seated at foot of Andes and long celebrated for medicinal properties.

I took pains in filling and securing both water and gas.

If you can find any one who likes to analyze them, I should think it would be worth the trouble.

I have not time at present to copy my few observations about the locality, etc., etc., [of] these springs.

Will you tell me how the Arachnidae which I have sent home, for instance those from Rio, appear to be preserved.
