Abstract
LET me point out that the paragraph on p. 109 of NATURE for May 21, stating that the landslip that had occurred in the Garhwal district in the Himalaya, blocking up the Bireh Ganga river, had burst, causing the loss of many lives, is erroneous. The catastrophe reported from India had reference to a locality in Kulu, and not to Garhwal, the two being several hundred miles apart.
