A volume of zoological reports from the Discovery Expedition 1901-1904 which was led by Captain Robert Falcon Scott 1868-1912. Various contributors. "The chief part of the present volume is Dr. Wilson's beautifully illustrated report on the Birds and Mammals giving his personal experiences during the Expedition as well as the results of subsequent study of the collections. This expedition was the first to discover a nesting colony of the Emperor Penguin. All the other collections of vertebrates made during the Expedition are here reported on with the exception of the embros of seals and the pelagic fishes which will be dealt with later. The investigation into the development of the feathers of the penguin raises several points of great morphological significance. The collection of fishes is small but interesting." - from the Preface to Volume II by F. Jeffrey Bell. The section on Mammals by Edward A. Wilson includes 3 colour and 2 black-and-white plates by Wilson. The section on Birds by Wilson and Pycraft includes 13 colour plates by Wilson.
