xiv PREFACE 



Mr. J. A. Tunnicliffe, of tlie University of Sydney Library, has much assisted iis in 

 the matter of arranging and indexing these notes, as well as in the matter of refer- 

 ences ; and certainly not the least important help that we have received has been 

 given by our colleague, Mr. W. S. Dun, who has been an unfailing source of informa- 

 tion in all matters relating to Antarctic Bibliography. Our hearty thanks are due, 

 and are hereby sincerely tendered, to Dr. Charcot, Professor Penck, Dr. J. Gunnar 

 Andersson, Dr. A. Strahan, G. W. Lamplugh, and Professor Sibly for much 

 sympathetic help.
