SURVEY OF THE LANDING-PLACES. 41 Conclusion. Before concluding, it is proper to state that the voyage was one surrounded with much peril, on account of the succession of gales and the extraordinary quantities of ice found in the Greenland seas; never within the memory of man has there been so much and so long a continuation of ice upon the Greenland coasts as during the past year. In the arduous labours of the voyage Captain Young was most ably assisted by Mr. J. E. Davis, Master in the Royal Navy, who by the kindness of Captain Washington, Hydrographer to the Admi- ralty of the British Government, was permitted to accompany the expedition and take part in the necessary surveys ; and his former well-known services under Sir James Ross in the Ant- arctic regions, and great experience as a marine surveyor, enabled him to render the most valuable assistance in the especial mission of the “ Fox,” which is acknowledged by Captain Young in his report in the highest possible terms. During the voyage various specimens of deep interest to the geologist and naturalist were collected ; a large number of scientific obser- vations were made, and a detailed meteorological journal was kept, which, together with other valuable information and an extensive collection of photographs made with great zeal by Mr. Woods under very difficult circumstances, have been furnished by Captain Young and Dr. Rae to the promoters of the enterprise, with the hope that they will be found to con- tribute to the cause of science, as well as to the immediate object for which they were made. Time will not now permit me to give further details of this most interesting voyage ; but any members of this Society who may desire to make personal inspection of the charts, meteorological tables, logs, reports, and specimens, will be gladly permitted to do so. Having thus presented to the Society some of the most
