L] GEOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS 351 



thanks to Captain R. F. Scott, R.N., C.V.O., D.Sc, &c., and the 

 officers of the ' Discovery,' who by their interest in my work, and 

 their ever-ready help, were a very material assistance to me. 

 The photographs taken by Lieutenant-Engineer R. W. Skelton, 

 R.N., are invaluable, and by them I was able to decide before 

 leaving the ship what localities would repay close examination. 

 The kindly interest Captain Scott took in my work and the 

 arrangements he made for me were more than I could possibly 

 have expected. To Mr. W. G. Fearnsides, M.A., F.G.S., Fellow 

 of Sidney Sussex College, and to Mr. Bernard Smith, B.A,, of 

 Sidney Sussex College, my thanks are due for many valuable 

 suggestions. Lastly, I am indebted to Mr. R. H. Rastall, B.A., 

 F.G.S., of Christ's College, for reading the manuscript and 

 suggesting many improvements in the text.
