Abstract
AN Antarctic Expedition is being again talked of. A New Zealand colonist (of Norwegian origin) has come to Europe for the purpose of taking out a contingent of his countrymen accustomed to fishing. His object is to endeavour to organize an Antarctic whale fishery. He hopes to equip two steamers with which to explore the region generally, and, if possible, he will leave a contingent of men on Victoria Land, or some other suitable point, for a whole year. One or more scientific men will be taken, so that if the proposed expedition be carried out we may expect some important results.
