Abstract
Since the change in the weather spoiled all my hopes of seeing the frozen waters in the grotto above Gresta, I returned to it after I had sent the last letter to Your Highness, so that I should miss nothing that might help me to discover something new about it. I drew a plan of it, as far as this was possible, given the unevenness of the ground, and I recorded several cross-sections, while keeping in mind the construction of the mountain above. While I was examining all parts of the grotto for this purpose, I noticed a wind coming up from the depths.
