Abstract
THE object of the expedition was to investigate the Antarctic regions to the southward of Australia, a locality where the hypothetical Antarctic Continent was supposed to extend far to the north, but concerning which only the most meagre information was at hand. Most of the expeditions of late years have had as their objective the South Pole. Consequently, in order to secure the most promising route, their geographical fields have much overlapped, and the area of the unknown has not diminished commensurably with the magnitude of those undertakings.
