Link:Map 0f Singing sands in the world（世界の鳴き砂地図最新版）|ダーウインの発見の記事（鳴き砂幻想より）|
南米のチリーからのメールでダーウインが『ビーグル号探検記』に書いているタラパカとコピアポの鳴き砂はどちらも健在だと知らせてきました。私のＨＰの地図では位置が逆転していることも教えてくれました。拙著『鳴き砂幻想』33ページの地図は正しかったのですが、HPは位置が逆転していました。。原文で紹介します。

To Mr. "superman"
1. Thank you for your mail concerning singing sands in Chile,which point out
my confusion. I could ascertained it by map, I corrected the map of my web site.
My knowledge for places of the sounds producing sand in your country is from
a book of Charles Robert Darwin's Naturalist's Voyage in the Beagle(1906). Your
information is very precious one. At present.existence itself of the sands is
rare case in the world. I am pleased with your word "I am fanatic of the
sand".
In Japan, we have a official group of the natural conservation of the sand.The
group is all over the country, consisted by the top of the self-governing body.
The group have a national conference every year. Existence itself of the sands
is a symbol of clean environment.
2. I am regrettable to get some knowledge from your site. I want some advice
to me , how I can get the detail data.
