Abstract
I AM surprised and sorry that Prof. Milne should think, as he seems to do, that I sought to belittle Captain Snow's achievements, for I not only based my article on the seaotter upon Captain Snow's additions to zoological knowledge, but I also paid an unstinted compliment to Captain Snow's romantic and adventurous career. I mentioned briefly that Captain Snow had won the reputation of an authority on the geography of the Kuriles; but that brief statement, brief because I was not dealing with, and was, indeed, very imperfectly acquainted with, his geographical, work, was necessarily inadequate. Prof. Milne has done proper justice to this part of Captain Snow's work.
