IN the preface to my book on Antarctic meteorology I wrote, ``I was recalled to my work in India when the Terra Nova returned to the Antarctic in January, 1912,'' and the reviewer in NATURE of December 23 (p. 528) has very naturally concluded that this meant that I was recalled officially by the Government of India. It is, therefore, only fair that I should state the facts. I was granted three years' leave by the Government of India, which would have been sufficient if Capt. Scott's original plan of staying only one year in the Antarctic had been carried out. When, however, it was clear that the expedition would remain two years, I told Capt. Scott that I would stay the second year and write to India asking for my leave to be prolonged. When the Terra Nova arrived in January, 1912, she brought me a letter from Mr. Field telling me that Dr. Walker had gone to England seriously ill, and that he himself was so unwell that he did not see how he could carry on. In these circumstances I felt it was my duty to my colleagues in India to return at once.
