Abstract
SOME rather venomous criticism of my book, “First on the Antarctic Continent,” has appeared in one or two periodicals. Had my book been intended to be what it is not—a scientific report upon our work in the south—the venom would to some extent be justified. There are, however, other circumstances which prevented me from producing at the time a larger and more representative account of our work in the south. Preliminarily may I state that the observations have been submitted to the Council of the Royal Society, who have accepted them, and the Society is in due time going to publish a volume on the results? This speaks for itself of the efficiency of the staff I had chosen. The Natural History Museum of South Kensington has received the bulk of the collections and I understand that the report upon them is nearly finished, and the book, written by specialists of the Museum, will probably appear within a very short time.
