H. G. Watkins, the young explorer, whose excellent work in Labrador and Greenland has been an inspiration to others in the scientific and geographic exploration of these regions met a tragic death by drowning on the east coast of Greenland while out hunting in a kyak. As a memorial, a trust fund to assist young explorers at the beginning of their careers has been established and the men who followed Watkins in the British Arctic Air Route Expedition have already subscribed over £300. Subscriptions and inquiries should be addressed to Air. Augustine Courtauld, 33 Trafalgar Square, London, S. W. 3.
