| Title | Copy letter from H T [Hartley Trevors] Ferrar, Survey Department, Giza, Egypt, to the Director of the Meteorological Institute [William Napier Shaw] |
| Creator | Ferrar; Hartley Travers (1879-1932); geologist and polar explorer |
| Recipient | Shaw; Sir; William Napier (1854-1945) |
| Date | 3 January 1909 |
| Description | Ferrar points out a 'serious misprint' on page 345 of the 'Discovery' expedition meteorology report. Some incorrect bearings seem to have been printed between 4 and 11 November, when Scott's party was stuck in a storm; 'it may be that Lieutenant Skelton's first journey of 1902, has been superimposed on his second journey of 1903'. |
