Scientific paper

UNDER the auspices of the British Empire League, a very representative and influential committee has been formed to carry out the proposal made by Sir Joseph Carruthers, K.C.M.G., ex-Premier of New South Wales, that a monument should be erected in London to the memory of Captain Cook; but I venture to ask, is this the best way to honour the memory of the illustrious navigator? Captain Cook was a great seaman, geographer, and ethnologist; indeed, he was one of the foremost of the men of science of his day. As his life was devoted to discovery of various kinds, surely the best memorial to him would be to establish a fund, associated with his name, the interest of which should be devoted to the prosecution of investigations analogous to those in which he spent his life and met his death.
