Abstract
IN the autumn of 1923 the Norwegian Government appointed a whaling committee, under the chairmanship of Dr Johan Hjort, to carry out a scientific study of whaling and of the various factors in the sea which govern the life and migrations of whales. This committee at once approached the British Discovery Committee with a proposal that the two bodies should co-operate in this work. As a result of the negotiations which followed, it was agreed that, at any rate to begin with, the best arrangement would be for the Discovery to operate on the Antarctic whaling grounds, especially those worked from the Falkland Islands Dependencies, while the Norwegian investigators concentrated upon work in the North Atlantic.
