My own share of it will he a many-page analysis of his scientific work, especially of his chaptrs in Wheeler's Volume III, which are really wnderfully rich reading, more so than many of the younger geologists now know; of his Henry mountains, in which he let hjjL^self go, much more freely than under *heeler; and in his Lake Bonneville, the most detailed study he made. In reviewing his work, I am more and more pffersuaded that it wa a heavy sacrifice for him to assume so much administrative work as Powell placed upon him. Powell was dobhltess wise im asking aid from so wise an assistant; hut the scientific world lost much by Gilbert's distraction from his western work. Would that he might have continued what he began in the C^reat Basin * t With cordial wishes for your Happy >Tew Year, believe me Sincerely Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Merriam, C.
