Abstract
I HAVE recently been made acquainted with certain hypotheses which are believed to explain the motives which induced Prof. Gregory to resign the position of scientific director of the National Antarctic Expedition. Thus, it is commonly believed that he was influenced by his family and friends. Indeed, the opinion has recently been expressed that I was, perhaps, the cause of his withdrawal, or that, at least, I advised it. It is impossible to imagine how such an opinion can have arisen if my letter to the Fellows of the Royal Society had been read with any attention, unless, indeed, I have failed to give a fair and accurate account, in spite of most serious efforts, put forth with a grave sense of responsibility.
