evidently a Cyanophyceous sheet such as Fritsch (191 2) describes, but it has not yet 

 been examined. 



Weddell seals {Leptonycholes weddelli) were plentiful on the south side of the island 

 and a few Emperor (Aptenodytes forsteri) and Adelie Penguins (Pygoscelis adeliae) were 

 seen, but other birds were absent. Emperor Penguins were seen again the following 

 day at sea off the Kemp Land coast. During the night, whilst the ship was lying close 

 to the island, there was a remarkably fine display of the Aurora. 



SUMMARY 



1 . The course of exploration of the coasts of those parts of the Antarctic continent 

 known as Kemp Land and MacRobertson Land is outlined. 



2. A narrative of the five days cruise of the R.R.S. 'William Scoresby' along these 

 coasts in 1936 is given, and parts of the Kemp Land coast, hitherto unexplored, are 

 described. 



3. Accounts are given of landings made at Scullin Monolith, MacRobertson Land 

 and Bertha Island, Kemp Land.
