Abstract
WHEN the Discovery sailed for the Antarctic regions in August, 1901, Captain Scott took out an equipment of meteorological instruments, but the men who were to have used them were not on board. When South Victoria Land was reached, the observations, therefore, had to be made by men who had not been trained for the work. The report on the observations which were made by Lieut. C. W. R. Royds and assistants shows that they are to be congratulated on their success in carrying out arrangements for the exposure of the instruments and their devotion in maintaining the readings during their stay in South Victoria Land.
