different countries. You will therefore see in the printed
announcement that it has been awarded to three persons be-
sides yourself: Dr. Hugh Robert Mill, Scott Polar Research
Institute, Cambridge, England; Professor Jean Brunhes,
College de France, Paris; Professor Jules de Schokalsky,
Russian Geographical Society, Leningrad.
