Honorary Member. Dr. Hugh Robert Mill, the Geographer and Meteorologist, has accepted honorary membership of the Society. He was one of the original members of the Association for the Study of Snow and Ice.

Professor A. B. Dobrowolski, a member of the Society and author of many works on ice and snow including his well-known Histoire naturelle de la glace, has recently communicated with us. He is safe after many bitter war-time experiences. We hope to publish an article on glacier research by Professor Dobrowolski in a subsequent issue.

Oxford University Exploration Club. At a meeting organized by Dr. K. Sandford and Mr. C. Elton on 18 June 1946, this Club was reformed after the war interval. Professor K. Mason was elected Vice-President, Mr. R. Scott Russell Chairman and Mr. Malcolm Conway (68 Abingdon Road, Oxford) Honorary Secretary. Several expeditions have been proposed and it is hoped that one will set out for the Arctic in the summer of 1947.

The Jungfraujoch Research Party, 1938. The work of this party has been recognized by the Royal Geographical Society in their award of the Back Grant of 1942.

Glacier Research Committee. The Glacier Physics Sub-Committee which has been under consideration for some time is now in process of being formed. Dr. M. F. Perutz of the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, is the Honorary Secretary. The names of its members will be announced shortly. Its function will be to carry on the researches into the physics of glacier ice started by the J ungfraujoch Research Party in 1938. It is hoped to train one or two young physicists for this work.

Contributions for the next issue of the Journal of Glaciology should be sent to the Assistant Secretary, British Glaciological Society, c/o Royal Geographical Society, Kensington Gore, London, S.W.7.
