Yes, Karl is correct to question my statement that Rimmer was a "fellow of
the American Geological Society." I should have said, "American
Geographical Society," though frankly I don't know whether this is correct
either and (if correct) whether it really means simply that he subscribed to
National Geographic, or something like that.
The information that he was a fellow of the geographical organization is
stated in the entry on Rimmer in the old National Cyclopedia of American
Biography, vol. 41, p. 22. Again, I can't vouch for its accuracy but accept
responsibility for the error noted by Karl.
