Abstract
IN consequence of the unfortunate wreck of the Psyche on a sunken rock on the coast of Sicily, about nine miles north of Catania, the arrangements of the Sicilian Expedition were considerably modified. Catania was made the headquarters of the expedition, and the garden of the Benedictine Monastery was given up by the authorities of the city to the English and American observers. It was finally arranged that Prof. Roscoe should take charge of the Etna Expedition, and I was asked by Mr. Lockyer to take charge of the Expedition to Augusta. Mr. Brett, Mr. Burton, Mr. Clifford, Mr. Ranyard, Mr. Samuelson, and myself formed the party.
