Sound. Finding these closed or impracticable
and failing of all traces Of the missing expedition

to New York"
The point Of maximum cold is said to be in the
vicinity Of Parry Islands and, after alludng to
the theory Of winds and currents, propounded BY
Lieut. Maury, md to the supposition entertained
by scientific men, that beyond the icy barrier of
the Arctic region there is "polina" or sea free
from ice, he adds
THE supposed open sea and warmer region 10
the north and west Of Parry Islands are unexplo.
