Dr. VON Drygalski has long been professor of geography in the 

 University of Munich. His early work dealt chiefly with glaciology 

 (Die Geoiddeformationen der Eiszeit, Zeitschr. Gesell. fur Erd- 

 kunde zu Berlin, Vol. 22, 1887). His next major contribution to 

 the subject related to the structure of the Greenland inland ice and 

 its significance in the theory of glacier movement — material gathered 

 while leader of the Greenland Expedition of the Berlin Geographical 

 Society, 1891-1893 (see " Gronland-Expedition der Gesellschaft 

 fiir Erdkunde zu Berlin, 1891-1893," 2 vols., Berlin, 1897; " Uber 

 die Struktur des Gronlandischen Inlandeises und ihre Bedeutung fiir 

 die Theorie der Gletscherbewegung, " Neues Jahrbuch fur Mineral., 

 Geol. und Palaontol., 1900). In 1900-1903 he was leader of the Ger- 

 man Antarctic expedition on the Gauss. The reports of this expedi- 

 tion, published in a series of monographs entitled "Deutsche Siid- 

 polar-Expedition, 1901-03" (18 vols., Berlin, 1905 to date) are of 

 exceptional value for their comprehensiveness and thoroughness. 

 Among reports contributed by Dr. von Drygalski himself are "Das 

 Eis der Antarktis und der subantarktischen Meere" (Vol. i. No. 4, 

 1921) and "Ozean und Antarktis" (Vol. 7, No. 5, 1926). The popu- 

 lar account of the expedition by its leader is entitled "Zum Kontin- 

 ent des eisigen Siidens," Berlin, 1904. Dr. von Drygalski has also 

 made valuable contributions to general geography in such publica- 

 tions as "Der Einfluss der Landesnatur auf die Entwicklung der 

 Volker, " Berlin, 1922. In the Memorial Volume of the Transcon- 

 tinental Excursion of 19 12 of the American Geographical Society, 

 in which he was a participant, he has written "Taliibertiefung 

 im Grand Caiion des Colorado," New York, 1915.
