Abstract
IN consequence of a cable received yesterday from London, telling me that the instructions for the conduct of the National Antarctic Expedition that had been passed by the Joint Committee of the Royal Society and the Royal Geographical Society have been greatly altered, I feel it my duty to resign the post of head of the civilian scientific staff of the expedition, which I had provisionally accepted. The organisation of the expedition now passed leaves the head of the civilian scientific staff nominally responsible for most of the scientific work of the expedition, but gives him no power to secure the performance of the scientific part of the programme.
