288 ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION PUBLICATIONS. 



Arrangements are being made with several other gentlemen to 

 collaborate in the description of the petrologieal and mineral col- 

 lections. 



The reports of this Section are expected to be incorporated in four 

 volumes. 



Only one part has yet appeared, namely, Vol. III., Part I., Section I., 

 " The Metamorphic "Rocks of Adelie Land," by Dr. F. L. Stillwell. 

 A report on the Deep Sea Muds, by Mr. F. Chapman, is ready for 

 publication. 



Series B. — Meteorologi/, Astronomy, Tides, Magnetics, Auroral 

 Observations, and " Wireless " Ohservations. 



The Meteorological Records of the various land stations and the 

 ship are being prepared for publication under the direction of Mr. 

 H. A. Hunt. Mr. F. J. Selby, of the National Physical Laboratory, 

 England, has undertaken to analyze the Tide Records. 



The Records of the Magnetic Field Observations have been dealt 

 with under the direction of Dr. Bauer, of the Carnegie Institution; 

 Department of Terrestrial Magnetism. The Magnetograph Records 

 have been measured and reduced under the direction of Mr. E. N. 

 Webb, who was in charge of the Magnetics at the Main Base Station, 

 Adelie Land. Later, in Mr. Webb's absence on active service, Professor 

 C. Farr and Mr. Skey, of Christchurch, New Zealand, supervised this 

 arduous work. Finally, the whole of the observations are being 

 tabulated and discussed by Dr. C. Chree, of the Magnetic Observatory, 

 Richmond, England. 



The Auroral and '" Wireless " Observations have been prepared for 

 publication and discussion by myself. 



It is not expected that Series B Reports can be adequately com- 

 pressed into less than five volumes. 



Dr. Chree's main Report and the Auroral and " Wireless " logs are 

 now about ready for press. 



Series C. — Zoologg, Botang, and Bacteriology . 



The Reports in this Section are naturally very extensive, as the 

 following list indicates. 



Thanks to Professor W. A. Haswell, who organized the programme 

 of the Biological Section of the Expedition, the publication of these 

 reports is well advanced.
