Petersburg on the 28th of frozen ocean. in sending this expedition, the Society fulfils an obligation contracted toward the International Polar Commission. The following states will take part in the enterprise :-Austria į one station at Jan Mayen Island, Englanil; one station at Fort simpson, Germany; two stations --one on the Gulf of Georgia; the other at a place not yet decided upon in the region of the North Pale: Denmark; one station on the wea

There is every reason to believe that there will be one, or even two additional Arctic stations. These may swell the list of persons engaged to over 200, all taking active part in this enterprise, which will cost, altogether, upward of a million roubles. If it be considered that besides all this magnetic observation in more southern regions will be im mensely stimulated, for importance and costliness and enterprise will be fully appreciated. One Russian expedition will undertake the heaviest part of the work. I will have to traverse about 6,630 miles, and establish itself in an exception- ally cold region at the mouth of the Lena. The other to the place where the lowest temperature in the world has been. noted. In January the average temperature is 40 below zero, the greatest

point at which mercury freezes. The precautions will therefore have to be taken to prevent the members of the expedition from los- ing their lives.
