300 SCOTT'S LAST EXPEDITION 
Balleny Group. No recent deposits having been found, the later 
pages of the history of this area must come from its physiog- 
raphy, and cannot be treated of here. 
For the work upon which this history is founded our thanks 
are due to the geologists of the various Antarctic expeditions, 
chiefly Mr. H. T. Ferrar, of the National Antarctic Expedition, 
and Professor IT. W. Edgeworth David and Mr. R. E. Priestley, 
of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1907-9. The 35 lbs. of 
specimens brought back by the Polar Party from Mt. Buckley 
contain impressions of fossil plants of late Paleozoic age, some 
of which a cursory inspection identifies as occurring in other 
parts of the world. When fully examined, they will assuredly 
prove to be of the highest geological importance.
