Abstract
THE last members of the Expedition left Low Island on July 28, 1929, one year and twelve days after the arrival there of the original party from England. We were so fortunate as to survive the year without serious illness and without damage to the huts, boats, and equipment. The original programme of work was not only completed in almost every particular but also was extended in many ways. It is also gratifying to report that the money raised (less than £9000 in actual money, though much assistance was received from shipping companies, the Queensland Government, and scientific sources, representing a considerable additional sum) proved sufficient, but only a very small sum remains for publication, and additional money will be needed for this purpose.
