Tins volume is the fruit of two holidays spent by us in the more remote part-, of the French and Spanish Pyrenees and in the Republic of Andorra in the summers of 896 and 1897. The division of labour between us in the production of the hook is stated on the title-page, and it only needs to he added here that while we have consulted together regarding all parts of the work, each of us is solely responsible for those parts which bear his name. The wild and beautiful district which we have attempted to describe and illustrate lias lately been strangely neglected by British tourists and climbers. When two years ago we first turned our attention to the Pyrenees we found few who could give us any detailed information or advice. Packe s Guide was out of print, and it was only after some trouble that we succeeded in obtaining a secondhand copy. Almost at random we planned our first tour, determining vaguely to traverse the chain from east to west, keeping as far as possible in the high mountains throughout.
