Abstract
FEW arctic expeditions from Great Britain in recent years have succeeded in accomplishing more useful work than that which the late Mr. H. G. Watkins led to East Greenland in 1930. The programme before the expedition was ambitious but much of it was carried out, including the survey of a long stretch of little-known coastline between lat. 64° and 68° N., two traverses of the interior ice cap, the establishment of an ice cap meteorological observatory as well as one on the coast, and various geological and biological investigations.
