DONALD B. MACMILLAN Leader of the Crocker Land Expedition, which went North in 1913 and returned in the summer of 1917. The main aim of this expedition was to find and explore land which Peary thought he saw northwest of Grant Land and which he had named Crocker Land. This appearance of land undoubtedly was a mirage, for a sledge journey was made by Mr. MacMillan over moving .sea ice to a point beyond where the land was thought to lie, without discovering any conditions indicating nearness of land. Other sledge journeys of geographical interest were made, notably to Finlay Land and North Cornwall and along the western coast of Ellesmere Land from Cape Sabine to Clarence Head. According to agreement among the three organizations supporting the expedition, the Ameri- can Geographical Society, the University of Illinois, and the American Museum of Natural History, publication of all geographical rejjorts lies with the American Geograpliical Society. It is with pleasure that the JouRN.\t. presents the accompanying article on "Food Supply," together with some of Mr. MacMillan's remarkable Arctic photographs. 160
