The patrol, consisting of A/L.-Cpl. R. C. Gray and two natives, left Pond Inlet on February 3, 1936, with two sledges and twenty-eight dogs. They were accompanied for part of the way by Mr A. Stephenson of the Hudson's Bay Company.

After three summer and two winter seasons' work, the British Graham Land Expedition has returned from West Antarctica. It is intended here not so much to describe the scientific and survey results as to give a résumé of its activities from the time of its initiation.

The objects of the expedition as originally outlined was to explore as much of the Antarctic coastline between Luitpold Land and Charcot Land as possible, from a base established as far south on the west coast of South Graham Land as ice-conditions would allow. The scientific programme was to include regular meteorological observations, biological, geological and glaciological research.

This article is in no way meant to be a full account of our dogs and dog driving, but rather to give a rough idea of the methods we found best adapted to the conditions met with in Graham Land.

Surgeon Lieut.-Com. E. W. Bingham, R.N., was in charge of our dogs and sledging equipment, and he is at present engaged on writing a detailed report, including dog management and breeding, which, if not published, will be housed at the Scott Polar Research Institute, together with specimens of our harnesses, traces, whips, sledges, etc.
