Note I, p. 3. — Dogs. These included thirty-three sledging dogs and a 

 collie bitch, ' Lassie.' The thirty-three, all Siberian dogs excepting the 

 Esquimaux ' Peary ' and ' Borup,' were collected by Mr. Meares, who 

 drove them across Siberia to Vladivostok with the help of the dog-driver 

 Demetri Gerof, whom he had engaged for the expedition. From Vladivos- 

 tok, where he was joined by Lieutenant Wilfred Bruce, he brought them 

 by steamer to Sydney, and thence to Lyttelton. 



The dogs were the gift of various schools, as shown by the following
