Fig. 84—Pulse at the Riffel (2569 m.), rest on the return trip (ascent of July 7).. Fig. 85—Pulse at Morges (380 m.), absolute repose (July 10) I add here, for the sake of comparison, a sphymographic record taken by M. Forel on his return to Morges (380 meters) July 10. M. Forel attributes the differences between the sufferings of the two ascents to becoming accustomed to the mountains, to the train- ing due to the three days stay at the Riffel (2500 meters): Each year (he says) I suffered more in my first ascent of the summer than in following expeditions. So, in 1865, I was very much affected by mountain sickness on the col of the Geant at 3400 meters. It was my first ascent; but six days after, trained as I was by succes- sive passages of the cols of the Geant, of Joux, of Ranzola, of Ollen and of Turlo, I made the passage of Weissthor, 3610 meters, without suffering at all from the altitude. (P. 108.) We ourselves made similar reflections (see page 324). The disappearance of symptoms during the ascent of the Botzer Tolle is a very interesting fact; M. Forel explains it in a very original manner:.
