III. Route-Books of the Himalaya

The position regarding the compilation of Routes in the Himalaya is explained in the Correspondence Section of this Journal and the Honorary Secretary's Report. The Honorary Editor will be glad to receive corrections to vol. i (Kashmir, Ladakh, &c.), and routes for vols, ii (Bashahr, Kumaun, &c.) and iii (Sikkim); or they may be sent in to the Director, Geodetic Branch, Survey of India, Dehra Dun. The Honorary Editor has kept vol. i up to date, as far as possible, from corrections already sent to him, and will endeavour to continue to do so, pending some more suitable arrangement.

IV. The Himalayan Journal, Vol. VII, 1935

It is hoped to publish the seventh volume of The Himalayan Journal in April 1935. All papers and other communications for publication must reach the Honorary Editor, Lieut.-Colonel Kenneth Mason, School of Geography, Mansfield Road, Oxford, by the 31st December 1934, and earlier, if possible. Sketch-maps should be sent to accompany articles if necessary; they should be clearly drawn in Indian ink. Photographs for publication should be on glossy bromide and should show as much contrast as possible. The late submission of promised papers has caused extra expense to the Club, and the late appearance of the Journal this year is due to that cause.

Members who have given permanent addresses in India, and who expect to be in England in April or May, should send their home addresses to the Honorary Editor.

V. Presentation of Books to the Library

Books presented to the Library, including those sent for review, should be addressed to the Honorary Librarian, the Himalayan Club, Army Headquarters, Simla, and not to any official of the Club by name. The same applies to periodicals received from societies, clubs, and other institutions, in exchange for the Himalayan Journal.

VI. Climbing Equipment

The Eastern Section of the Club keeps a small stock of equipment which may be hired by members on application to the Honorary Secretary, Eastern Section, 14/1 Rowland Road, Calcutta. There are available a few tents, several light shelters, ice-axes, crampons, mattresses, blankets, coolies' boots, rucksacks, and other miscellaneous equipment.
