On the same day the last covey of ptarmigan was met with. What no one would have expected to see in that frozen region three specimens of a caterpillar were obtained one of which, as an arctic curiosity, was brought to England. For some months the crew retained excellent health, but early in January the gunner showed symptoms which indicated scurvy.
