See pp. 384- 94. The first two named only ascended to the summit. See pp. 393, 416-7. Guides — J.-A. Carrel, Salamon Meynet, and J. B. Bich. An easier route was discovered by this party than that taken upon July 17, 1865. The first two named only ascended to the summit. Guides — the three Maquignaz's just named, Caesar Carrel, and F. Ansermin. The Maquignaz's and Mr. Jordan alone reached the summit. Guides — Jos. Marie Lochmatter and Peter Knubel. Guides — Jos. and Pierre Maquignaz, and three others. Account given in hotel-book at Breil is not very clear. Guides seem to have been Jos. and Victor Maquignaz and Elie Pession. Guides — Hans Baumann, Peter Bernett, and Peter Knubel. Guides — Jos. Marie Lochmatter, Nich. Knubel, and Peter Knubel. Guides — Jos. Marie Lochmatter and the two Knubels. Guides — Nich. Knubel and Pierre Zur- briggen (Saas). Guides — J.-A. Carrel and Jos. Maquignaz. Guides — J.-A. Carrel and Jos. Maquignaz. Guides — J.-A. Carrel, Bich, and two Payots (Chamounix). Guides — the four Maquignaz's (Val Tour- nanche). One ascent only was made in 1870. No details have come to hand.

Although one day only is named for this and for a subsequent ascent, I have reason to believe

that two or more days have "been occupied upon all ascents which have, as yet, been made.
