PREFACE. 1x 
The Antarctic maps, accompanying the Manual, have been com- 
piled with great care by Mr. Batchelor, under my superintendence. 
The Manual concludes with an exhaustive Antarctic Bibliography, 
by Dr. Mill. 
The ‘Antarctic Manual’ is presented to the Expedition by the 
President and Council of the Royal Geographical Society; and is 
also issued to Fellows as a supplementary volume. 
The Editor, Mr. George Murray, to whom the Expedition already 
owes so mnuch, goes out as Director of the Civilian Scientific Staff. 
No polar vessel ever left these shores so well adapted and prepared 
as the Discovery, to secure the valuable scientific results that are 
hoped from the exertions of the explorers; and I trust that one 
useful aid to our gallant friends, when in the far South, will be 
Mr. George Murray’s ‘ Antarctic Manual.’
