believe that the subject will not be completely neglected in these difficult 

 times. We can occupy the lean years in making ourselves more familiar 

 with what is already known, and in conducting new investigations on a 

 modest scale, as, indeed, is being done at South Kensington by the 

 Imperial College with the assistance of the Department of Scientific and 

 Industrial Research. Then, when the fat years come, and the mining 

 industries again call for the help of geophysicists, we shall be found, at 

 least, not wholly unprepared.
