Scientific paper

IN NATURE for April 11 last Dr. Chree reviewed Sir Douglas Mawson's paper on ``Auroral Observations at the Cape Royds Station, Antarctica,'' and directed attention to the impression the observers received that the aurora was sometimes seen in the lower atmosphere between them and Mount Erebus. A similar statement had appeared in Shackleton's book, ``The Heart of the Antarctic'' (vol. ii., pp. 360-61), before Scott's expedition left for the South. As this subject is of fundamental importance in all discussions of the origin and nature of the aurora, I arranged with all members of the expedition that I should be called whenever they saw, or thought they saw, an aurora in front of Erebus.
