Preface 
however, before he passed away, to obtain his kindly aid 
in reading the proofs of this volume, which, owing to his 
great knowledge of Arctic matters, quite apart from his 
own wide personal experiences of Arctic travel, was of no 
little value. The writer would desire here to render his 
affectionate tribute to the memory of a friend whose 
charming personality will long be recalled by all those who 
had the privilege of knowing him. 
In the revision of Scott's journeys I have had the in- 
valuable assistance of Mr Frank Debenham, Fellow of 
Gonville and Caius College, geologist to Capt. Scott's last 
expedition, to whom my very grateful thanks are due. To 
Mr Edward Heawood, Librarian of the Royal Geographical 
Society, the reader is indebted for the helpful chronological 
table and bibliography at the end of the volume; and, 
finally, I have to thank Mr H. A. Parsons, of the Cambridge 
University Press, for his most efficient assistance in com- 
piling the index.
