In connection with a recent article on high altitude observatories (Physics Today, November, 1950), the existence of one more new station has just been brought to my attention. Last year the Bolivian government inaugurated a small observing station in Chacaltaya in Bolivia. This station is located at a geographic latitude 16 degrees, 19 minutes south and longitude 68 degrees, 10 minutes west, and at an altitude of 5490 meters above sea level.
