Abstract
THE death of Hartley Travers Ferrar at the comparatively early age of about fifty-two years was announced in London on April 19. Leaving Oundle in 1898, he entered Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, and took a second class in the Natural Science Tripos in 1901. Besides being captain of his College boat club he rowed in the University trials, and it was when stepping out of an eight at Henley that he was offered a place as geologist to Capt. Scott's First Expedition to the Antarctic. The chief scenes of his labours on the expedition were in South Victoria Land, where the great Ferrar Glacier was named after him.
