The Geographical Journal for March prints General Dunster- vine's recent

lecture on his adventurous march to the Caspian in 1918. Another interesting lecture is Mr. Frank Debenham's on " The Future of _Polar Exploration," emphasizing the need for the careful planning of expeditions and suggesting that the Antarctic may well be left alone for ome years, until the results of the last few expeditions have been properly digested.
