Abstract
THE notices in NATURE (August 30, p. 428, and September 20, p. 501), on the overflow of the lake dammed up by a landslip at Gohna, in the Kumaun Himalayas, leave the impression that the dam burst and the lake was completely drained. This is incorrect. The accompanying extract shows that Mr. Holland's forecast, an abstract of which, with illustrations, appeared in NATURE, July 5, was singularly accurate. The whole occurrence is of remarkable geological interest, and it is important the correct facts should be known.
