lost, so that we are unable to mention his name in connection with them. In this 

 matter Mawson * was the largest contributor, supplying forty of those reproduced, 

 including the telephoto view of Mount Erebus. 



We are particularly indebted to the authors contributing sections forming this second 

 volume of Geology for their gratuitous and unselfish services in working up the geological 

 results of our Expedition. 



We also wish to express our hearty gratitude to Mr. J. A. Tmmicliffe, of the University 

 of Sydney Fisher Library Staff, for his care and patience in preparing the Index to 

 Vol. I.f 



The publication of the bibliography of Antarctic Geology prepared by Mr. W. S. 

 Dun, intended for this volume, has been postponed at the last moment, as it is now 

 several years in arrears owing to delay in printing. It is intended that in the near 

 future it shall be brought up to date and published elsewhere. 



Finally, this volume is also indebted to the generosity of the Royal Society, who, 

 in addition to the £200 grant towards the printing of Vol. I, have now voted a further 

 £25 to cover the cost of printing the index now appearing. J • 



* As a matter of fact, I believe Professor David contributed a greater number of photographic 

 illustrations to that volume. — D.M. 



"(" I have extended Mr. Tunnicliffe's Index, so that that appearing at the end of this volume 

 covers both Vols. I and II. — D.M. 



J All expenses connected with the preparation of matter to form these Geology volumes were 

 defrayed by Professor David from money raised by him in a series of lectures upon the work of 

 the Expedition delivered throughout Australia and Tasmania.— D.M.
