Messrs Hill and Russell contribute to this number their preliminary reports 

 to the National Geographic Society. It seemed best that one of the geologists 

 of the National Geographic Society expedition should remain in the region of 

 volcanic disturbance. Dr Thomas A. Jaggar, who is professor of geology in 

 Harvard University, was therefore commissioned by the Society to continue his 

 researches, and his report will be published later in this Magazine. Lack of 

 space prevents our publishing Mr Borchgrevink's report in this number. Dr 

 E. O. Hovey, a member of the National Geographic Society, represented the 

 American Museum of Natural History.
