INTRODUCTION. 



THE greater number of the localities referred tu in the following list are places 

 where specimens were collected by the party on board the "Terra Nova"; 

 a large proportion of them being Plankton-stations. To these localities have 

 been added a certain number of places where specimens were obtained by members 

 of the Shore Party, particularly by Surgeon E. L. Atkinson, R.N., and Mr. E. W. 

 Nelson. The list has been verified by Commander H. L. L. Pennell, U.X.. who was 

 in charge of the log of the "Terra Nova.." 



In sorting the collection a system of numbering was adopted which has not proved 

 suitable for more permanent use. These " provisional station-numbers " are indicated 

 in the third column of the list, but the numbers m the second column, corresponding 

 with the maps, are those which should alone be used in recording results and in 

 labelling the specimens. 



The Plankton-nets are described according to the number of meshes to one 

 linear inch. The " Full speed " net had 180 meshes to the inch. " Bucket" indicates 

 that the specimens were caught by means of a bucket lowered over the ship's side. 



The meaning of a nautical method of indicating the position which has been used 

 in certain cases mav not be clear without a word of explanation. Station SO. for 

 instance, is given as " From Summit, (it. King, N. 87 W.. II miles." This indicates 

 a point II miles from Summit, (it. King, in a direction S7 from the .\m-tli, on, its 

 Western side : and is in fact almost due West. Similarly. Station Si', which is recorded 

 as " S. 40 E., 29 miles." indicates a point 21) miles from the same place along a line 

 40 from the S-////A. on its Ivistcrn side, and is thus not very far from South-East. 



The bearings are all true.
