    MEMORANDUM. [The following pages were written by Dr. Parkes as a guide to the Medical Officers of the Arctic Expedition in the Alert and Discovery, who sailed from Portsmouth on the 29th of May, 1875, under Captain Nares. Dr. T. Colan having ex- pressed a desire to carry out any experiments in the Polar regions that Professor Parkes might suggest as being likely to develop good results, the counterpart of the following pages (placed here as an Appendix), in Dr. Parkes’s own hand- writing, was communicated by Dr. Macdonald, Professor of Naval Hygiene, to Drs. Colan and Moss, before the ships sailed.]
