 Thk Arctic Navy List is an attempt to give a complete enumeration 
 of all Officers who have served in the Arctic or Antarctic Regions in 
 the Century between 1773 and 1873.* There have been Three Gene- 
 rations of Arctic Officers, First, that of Cook and Phipps. Second, 
 that ot Ross, Pakrv, Franklin, and Back. Third, that of the 
 Franklin searches. The fourth will commence with the Arctic 
 Expedition of 1875. 
 
 Sir George Back is the Father of Arctic Officers, and that 
 illustrious explorer continues to take a warm interest in the labours 
 and asi)irations of his younger fellow workers in the glorious field of 
 Poiir research. James Ross, Edward Bird, and Horatio Austin, 
 who all served with Parry, were also in the Franklin searches. They 
 formed the connecting link between the second and third generations 
 of Arctic Officers. Thus the earlier experiences were handed ilown, 
 and to Captain Austin is due the praise of having organised those 
 admirable arrangements for winter iiuarters which secured the boilily 
 and r ental heallli of officers and men when the spring travelling 
 comn .need. Sir Leopold McClintock, the disciple of Sir James 
 Ross, far outstripped his master, and is the discoverer of naval sledge 
 travelling. Cai-i'ain Nares will be the connecting link between the 
 third and fourth generations, and will hand down the traditions 
 which represent the knowledge and experience accpiired during the 
 Franklin searches. 
 
 'ihe list gives the expedition or expeditions in which each Officer 
 served. The most valuable (lualificalions for Arctic service are 
 aptitude for taking part in those winter amusements which give life to

 the expedition during the months of forced inaction ; and for sledge 
 travelHng.* Under each officer is therefore given the part he took in 
 the winter amusements, and the work he performed in the spring 
 sledge travelling. Other services are given in many cases, and 
 where any Officer is also an author, the titles of his work or works are 
 quoted. Under the names of the different Officers, which have been 
 commemorated on the Admiralty Charts, the Capes, Bays, Straits, 
 Channels, or Islands, bearing those names are enumerated. t 
 
 The names of Officers who wintered in the Arctic Regions are in 
 SMALL CAPITALS, and those of Officers who only made summer cruises 
 are in italics. 
 
 The principal Civilian Arctic Navigators, such as Penny, 
 Kennedy, Sheddon, Lamont, and Leigh Smith have been included 
 in the list. 
 
 The List of Officers is followed by a List of Vessels in which they 
 served in the Arctic Regions, also alphabetically arranged, so that an 
 enquirer on seeing the ship in which any Officer served, can at once 
 turn to the list of ships and see where the particular vessel wintered, 
 and to what expedition she belonged. 
 
 The Circumpolar Chart, which is appended by permission of the 
 Hydrographer, will be found useful for reference.^'

 Tus I.ATB AomiUL Sui Edward Belcher.— In 
 onr imprMiioa of yeiterdaj w« mentioned the death of 
 Admiral Sir Edward Belober, whoee name was sc familiar 
 to bhe laat generation aa one of the most enterprisiiig of 
 our Archie «xploi«rB. The second son of the late Andrew 
 Beleher, of Koehampton, he was born in the year 1799, and 
 entered the Royal Navy at the age of 13 as a Firsi-clasi 
 Volanteer, becoming a midshipman the same year. Ue 
 was jpresent at the Battle of AIners, and served afterwardi 
 on the African station, wheaeeoe came back home inva-v^x 
 lided in 1820. Uaring next senred on the North American N 
 sMtion for three years, in 1825 he was selected as Asaistaut; 
 SuTTeyor to Captain F. W. Beechey, then about to sail iot ^ 1 
 Behring's Straits on his royage of disooTCiy. In the next ^ 
 few yean we find him actively engaged in bpain, in Africa, y. 
 in South America, on the Indian station, and iu China, "^ 
 where he obtained the thanks of the Admiral in 1^ 
 command for his gallantry, especially at the reduc< ^ 
 tion of Canton. He was rewarded with a com- 
 mission as Post Captain and the Companionship of 
 the Order of the Bath in 1841, and received the honour of ^ 
 knighthood in 1843. From 1842 down to 1847, when he ro- "j 
 tired from active employ, he was mainly engaged in sur- .^ 
 Toying service in the East Indies. His last important. <^ 
 I naval employment was In command of an expedition in "^ 
 search of Sir John Franklin, which ended in the abaa* '" 
 donment of his two ships. He was nominated a Knight 
 Commander of the Bath in 1867. Sir Edward Belcher's 
 narrative of a Voyago Round the World, performed in Her 
 Majesty's ship Sulphur, in the years 1636-42 is well known. 
 Ue was also the author of a "Treatise on Nautical Sur- 
 veying." Sir Edward married in ia30 Diana Jollitle, 
 grand-dauAhter of Colonel Simpson; of riean-house, near 
 Falkirk, Stirlingshire, and stepdaughter of the late gallant 
 Captain I'eter Ueywood, R.N., whose name is so well 
 known in connexion with the " Mutiny of the Bounty."

 A CORRESPONDENT, J. H. S., sends OS the following notice 
 of Dr. £. L. Moss, who has shared the fote of the Afalanta:^^ 
 " It seems t* have escaped the notice of the scientific world thc^ 
 loss it has sustained in the ill-fated Atalanta. Dr. Edward L. 
 
 Moss, one of the officers on board that vessel, besides being a 
 surgeon of renown in the navy, was also, in the best sense of 
 that phrase, a scientific man. His papers read before the 
 British Association, and his remarks at sectional meetings over 
 a large range of natural history subjects (I remember such par- 
 ticularly at the last Plymouth meeting) will be fresh in the minds 
 of many. He was one who, always observing and storing up 
 facts, at whatever part of the world he might be, could clearly 
 and systematically arrange them, and also employ them if re- 
 quired with convincing force. Such opportunities for observation 
 were many and various. His profession, and the high estimation 
 in which he was held by the naval authorities making him a 
 picked man for any special service. By no means his least 
 accomplishment was the masterly way in which he wielded brush 
 and pen. In the Arctic Expedition of 1875-76 he served on 
 board H.M.S. Alert, and to the astonishment of every on-» brought 
 back with him from that expedition a number of most beautiful 
 finished water-colour paintings and sketches in black and white. 
 These were all made on the spot in those far off regioni=, and 
 are, I believe, the only examples in colour, painted from nature, 
 of those dreary, cold solitudes, and consequently were the first 
 intimation to the majority of people of the gorgeous effects of 
 colour to be seen there. I remember him telling me about the 
 trouble it was to keep his pigments fluid and the devices he had 
 to resort to to effect that result. Many of these paintings and 
 drawings (in facsimile), with a vivid and most interesting 
 descriptive narrative, were published in his book, ' Shores of 
 
 the Polar Sea.' "

 The Times correspondent writes from Copenhagen that on | 
 June 24 died there Mr. Carl Petersen, whose name is connected 
 with some of the most renowned Arctic explorations. He was a I 
 born Dane, but had lived many years in Greenland, and had * 
 there acquired a perfect knowledge of the Esquimaux language, \ 
 being at the same time a most skilled hunter and fisherman. At ' 
 the age of thirty-seven he was engaged by Capt. Penny as 
 interpreter, and accompanied his expedition in the years 1850.51. '^7' 
 Some years later he followed Dr. Kane on his unfortunate 
 
 expedition, when the vessel had to be left in the ic2 and the 
 
 crew were nearly starved and frozen to death. He had not been rton Channel Now 
 
 home more than a couple of weeks after returning from a two 
 
 years' stay in Greenland, before he went out again as interpreter 
 
 with the Fox, Capt. Sir Leopold M'Clintock, with Mr. (now Qel. 
 
 Sir) Allan Young as sailing master. Of this expedition, lasting
