ABSTRACT

ON November IOth, 1848, the German Missionary Rebmann wrote in his diary: "This morning we discerned the Mountains of J agga more distinctly than ever; and about ten o'clock I fancied I saw a dazzlingly white cloud. My Guide called the white which I saw merely' B eredi,' cold; it was perfectly clear to me, however, that it could be nothing else but • snow.'"
