"The Certainty of a Future Life in Mars"

This region forms with
them a continuous whole, but with faint traces of separation occurring
here and there in a length of nearly 6,000 kilometers (4,000 miles). Its
color, much less brilliant than that of the continents, was a mixture of
their yellow with the brownish gray of the neighboring seas." The
interesting feature of this note is the remark that it was an unusual
appearance, the region referred to being that in which the central
branch of the fork of the Y appeared. Since no such branch was
conspicuously visible this year, it would therefore seem from the above
that it was the opposition of 1892 that was peculiar, and not the
present one.--Translator.]
[Footnote D: This map may be found also in La Plan?te Mars, by
Flammarion, page 44.--Translator.]
