The scientific memoirs of the expedition will deal in detail withgeology, biology, meteorology, magnetism, physics, chemistry, andmineralogy, tides and currents, optics, and other scientific subjects.We were a small party, and of necessity a considerable part of ourtime was occupied in the necessary routine duties incidental to dailylife in the Antarctic, but we tried to cover all the ground possible inthe various branches of scientific knowledge. It is probable thatmost of the volumes containing our scientific records and conclusionswill be published within the next twelve or eighteen months.
