A set of first proofs, set up in type in December 1911 and January 1912 bearing amendments (mostly in pencil) presumably in the author's hand. The set was incomplete when Wordie acquired it in 1949, lacking the lower portions of sheets 98 and 109 and all of sheets 110-113; copies of the missing portions, taken from the set owned by the Scott Polar Research Institute, Cambridge (to which this is the duplicate set), were obtained by Wordie and bound in with the original sheets (ff. 99, 111-115). This log does not appear to have been published, but excerpts from it were quoted by R. N. Rudmose Brown in his 'A Naturalist at the Poles' (London: 1923). Armorial bookplate of James Mann Wordie on the front pastedown. Manuscript note on front pastedown in pencil "For correspondence loosely enclosed, see [Manuscripts Collections shelfmark] MS.9351, ff.84-88".
