(Fig. 147), one flowing parallel to and hugging the north-east coast, the other parallel to the south- 

 west coast but much farther off the land. The extensive region between the south-west coast and 

 the eastern boundary of the Weddell tongue flowing parallel to it is occupied by water (Deacon, 

 ^933» P- iQij Fig- 11) principally of Bellingshausen Sea origin. The current which carries the krill 

 towards the island also carries the pack-ice, occasionally (p. 417, Fig. 148) as in September and 

 October to within as little as 40 miles of its south-eastern tip.
