Abstract
THE Sydney expedition to Funafuti, to make borings in the coral, projected and led by Prof. David, started on June 2, going by steamer to Fiji, and thence by sailing vessel to Funafuti. This expedition has been made possible by the liberality of the Mining Department of the Government of New South Wales, which has supplied all the boring plant free of cost, and by the munificent gift from Miss Walker, of Sydney, of 500l., and from the Hon. Ralph Abercrombie of 100l. towards the expenses of the expedition.
