PREFACE TO VOL. V. 
Tus, the fifth volume of the Report of the Natural History Results of. the 
Voyage of the 8.8. ‘ Discovery’ sent in 1901 to the Antarctic Regions under 
Captain R. F. Scott, R.N., contains five reports on Animals and one on the 
Lichens collected by the Officers of the Expedition, and has been edited by 
Mr. Jeffrey Bell. 
It is hoped that another volume, treating of the Polyzoa, Polycheta, 
Radiolaria, Fresh Water Algz and, possibly, some isolated specimens, will 
conclude these Reports, which, taking everything into consideration, may be 
said to have been produced more rapidly than such Reports generally are.
