Abstract
ON Thursday, August 15, Mr. Humphrey Owen Jones, F.R.S., with his wife and a guide, met with a tragic death in an accident on the Alps, in the neighbourhood of Courmayeur, where Mr. and Mrs. Jones were spending part of their honeymoon. They were ascending the western face of the Mont Rouge de Peuteret, and were struck by a falling rock, which had become dislodged. They fell about a thousand feet to the Fresnay Glacier. It was in an attempt to make the first ascent of a peak in the same range, the Aiguille Blanche de Peuteret, that Prof. F. M. Balfour was killed in 1882.
