Abstract
THE voyage of the Quest in 1921–22, in spite of the change of plans after the tragic death of Sir Ernest Shackleton, has thrown important light on the geology of the South Atlantic islands owing to the energy of the geologist, Mr. G. Vibert Douglas, and the use that has been made of his collections by Mr. Campbell Smith. The specimens were presented by Mr. Rowett to the Mineral Department of the British Museum (Natural History), and an authoritative account of them, with several new analyses, has been prepared by Mr. Campbell Smith and other experts.
