Letter from Charles Edward Fagan, British Museum (Natural History), Cromwell Road, London, to the Secretary, the Royal Society The Trustees of the Museum have been in communication with the Colonial Office in reference to the project for the establishment of an Anglo-Swedish scientific station at Graham Land in Antarctica. Council of the Royal Society had agreed a grant of £500 and had nominated Professors J. Stanley Gardiner and E. W. MacBride to represent the Society on the British Committee. Conditions have changed because of the War: the Government of the Falkland Islands and the Royal Geographical Society have withdrawn their co-operation and therefore the Trustees have resolved not to proceed with the project, The Swedish Committee will be informed. 31 December 1917
