Abstract
II.
WHILE Balleny was making the discoveries to which we alluded at the close of the previous article, two other expeditions were actively pursuing their researches and extending our knowledge of the Antarctic regions,— a French expedition under Dumont d'Urville and an American under Lieutenant Wilkes. Neither expedition was originally intended for South Polar exploration, and to this among other reasons is it to be ascribed that the results, with respect to the exploration of the South Polar regions, are of but little value compared with those obtained by the almost contemporaneous English expedition.
