Abstract

I have been requested by a Fellow of this Society, whom
circumstances prevent from himself representing the subject
dealt with in these notes, to call attention to an error in the
designation of a track which appeared in a paper on " The
Highlands of Lake St. Clair," read at the November meeting
by Colonel Legge,
The member to whom I refer, Mr. T. B. Moore, is well
known as an explorer, and he asks me to bring under the
notice of the Royal Society that " Scott's Track," along the
Cuvier Valley and westward to the coast, is, as such, incorrectly
described.
