Abstract
A N expedition, led by J. M. Wordie of St. John's College, Cambridge, has returned from a three months voyage to Davis Strait and Baffin Bay. The party, ten in number, had as its main objectives the geology and archæology of Ellesmere Land and the investigation of the upper atmosphere by free balloons. The Norwegian motor-sealing vessel Isbjørn, of Tromsø, 172 tons, carrying a crew of twelve, was specially chartered for the expedition, and sailed from Leith on June 27, returning on October 1. H. Carmichael and E. G. Dymond, who was assisted by I. M. Hunter, made cosmic ray investigations with high-altitude balloons near the magnetic pole. Eskimo anthropology and archaeology were studied by T. C. Lethbridge and T. T. Paterson, assisted by R. W. Feachem and D. Leaf ; geology, petrology and physiography by Paterson, H. I. Drever and A. H. Robin ; and botany by Feachem.
