I can anyhow most conscientiously say that no previously formed conjecture warped my judgment.

As I have described so did I actually observe the facts.

But I will have some mercy and end this most lengthy account of my geological trip.
On some of the large patches of perpetual snow, I found the famous red snow of the Arctic countries; I send with this letter my observations and a piece of paper on which I tried to dry some specimens.

If the fact is new and you think it worth while, either yourself examine them or send them to whoever has described the specimens from the north and publish a notice in any of the periodicals.

I also send a small bottle with two lizards, one of them is viviparous as you will see by the accompanying notice.
