THE HEART OF THE ANTARCTIC 



proved the most accurate of all and was carried by me on 

 the journey towards the Pole. 



The Geographical Society was able to send forward an 

 application made by me for the loan of some instruments 

 and charts from the Admiralty, and that body generously 

 lent me the articles contained in the following list: 



3 Lloyd-Creak dip circles. 

 3 marine chronometers. 

 1 station pointer 6 ft. 



1 set of charts, England to Cape and Cape to New Zealand. 

 1 set of Antarctic charts. 



1 set of charts from New Zealand through Indian Ocean to Aden. 



1 set of charts, New Zealand to Europe via Cape Horn. 

 12 deep-sea thermometers. 



2 marine standard barometers. 

 1 navy-pattern ship's telescope. 



1 ship's standard compass. 



2 azimuth mirrors (Lord Kelvin's type). 

 1 deep-sea sounding-machine. 



3 heeling error instruments. 



1 3-in. portable astronomical telescope. 



I placed an order for further scientific instruments 

 with Messrs. Cary, Porter and Company, Limited, of 

 London, and amongst other instruments I took the 

 following: 



1 6-in. theodolite transit with micrometers to circle and limb, read- 

 ing to 5". 



1 electric thermometer complete with 440 yards of cable, including 

 recorder, battery, and 100 recorder sheets, recording-drum to record 

 every twenty-five hours. 



3 3-in. alt-azimuth theodolites, portable, complete with sliding 

 leg-stand. 



1 small observing sextant. 



6 explorers' compasses with luminous dial and shifting needle. 

 3 3-in. surveying aneroids with altitude scale to 15,000 ft. 



3 pocket aneroids.
