WE publishers beg to draw particular note to the 
fact that the illustrations in this little book are 
all reproductions of genuine photographs from Life, 
taken by the Leader and Staff of the Scottish National 
Antarctic Expedition, during the voyage of the 
“Scotia,” 1902-1904.  fPractically all of them are 
unique, many of the mammals and birds never having 
been previously photographed. They were taken under 
conditions of climate which make photography extremely 
difficult and often impossible. They are not touched up 
tn any way by the engravers, and may be implicitly 
relied upon as correct representations of the actual 
environments of Antarctic mammals and birds. 
Enquiries as to larger copies of these photographs, etc., 
Should be addressed to the Dtrector, Scottish Oceano- 
graphical Laboratory, Surgeons Hall, Edinburgh.
