Abstract
IN the long and interesting address of Major Greely at the special meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, held ten days ago, with the object of hearing an account of some of his proceedings during his painfully memorable Arctic expedition, the traveller dwelt so largely upon the conditions of the ice on the open Polar sea, &c., that one was led to believe that he was talking at opinions—spoken or written—by some one adverse to his own; possibly those given by myself in the communication published in NATURE of December 10 last may have been meant. Should this be so, anything that Major Greely has said does not in the slightest degree affect the statements made by me in the above-mentioned letter.
