able, and many valuable records and

and animal life north of 80 degrees lati-
tude the names of all the EskimOs in
the Etah region, together with more than
q hundred books. in which many inn
pOTtant marginal notes had been made.
No records bearing on the dash to the
pole were lost. The missing books are of
immense value and cannot be replaced,
but tine authorities are issuing d public
appeal for their return.
