The Brief History of Polar Exploration by W. L. A. 

 Joerg has just been published (1930) by the American 

 Geographical Society. It deals especially with exploration 

 by flying, and is accompanied by two invaluable maps.

The Continent; Its Geology and Relation to Other 



Lands 



As regards geology, I hasten to acknowledge my in- 

 debtedness to the best single memoir yet produced by an 

 Antarctic expedition. I refer to Geology, Vol. I by David 

 and Priestley (Heinemann, London, 1914). This deals 

 with physiography, glaciology, meteorology, and paleon- 

 tology, as well as the usual geological research. Ferrar's 

 account (Discovery Expedition, IQ02) is still the founda- 

 tion of all stratigraphic work in East Antarctica. Nor- 

 denskj old's volumes (Stockholm, 1910), especially those 

 dealing with the fossils, must be consulted. Woodward's 

 account of the Devonian fish (1921) and Seward on the 

 Permian ferns (1914) are published by the British 

 Museum. 



Chapter VI 



Scenery and Topography 



This chapter on topography is based almost entirely on 

 the writer's quarto memoir Physiography of MacMnrdo 

 Sound and Granite Harbour (Harrison, London, 1922). 

 No other expedition has come across such large areas of 

 ice-free country, so that no other memoir perhaps deals so 

 fully with these problems. I contributed a very lengthy 

 paper on the subject to the Royal Geographical Journal 

 for October, November, and December, 1914; and I have
