A RESUME OF THE PHYSIOGRAPHY AND 
GLACIAL GEOLOGY OF VICTORIA LAND, 
ANTARCTICA 
By Griffith Taylor, B.Sc, B.E., B.A., F.G.S. 
(Senior Geologist to the Expedition) 
It is always a wise principle in research to proceed from 
the known to the unknown. So little has been written 
on the subject in question that we should have almost a 
blank sheet were it not for the geologists of Shackleton's 
Expedition, whose detailed work is not yet published.

Let us glance at a map of the South Polar regions, how- 
ever, and see if we can deduce any useful principles from 
neighbouring lands.
