ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

The expedition is grateful for the financial assistance provided by the University Grants Committee for equipment and supplies, and to the University Council for grants to student geologists. We are indebted to Professor Clark, Department of Geology, for his continued assistance and interest.

The pilots and crews of the U. S. Navy VXE-6 Squadron willingly assisted with the air-support provided for both parties. We thank them all for their help but particularly Hercules Cdrs. B. Campbell and G. McLoughlin and helicopter pilot Lt. Jim Brandau.

We would especially like to thank the Scott Base leader, Jim Barker, for all the help and great effort he put into making our programme run smoothly. The help of his staff in this and with our mechanical problems was very much appreciated.

We thank the Antarctic Division, Christchurch, for their assistance with logistic and clerical matters.

We are also grateful to Dennis Rainey of the Lands & Survey Department for sorting out and providing air photos.
