24. While she was m dry-dock here I visited her, together with 

 Mr. Ames, the Secretary of Legation, by invitation of Mr. Bruce 

 and of her commander, Captain Robertson, and found her stoutly 

 built, splendidly equipped, and full to overflowing of various scien- 

 tific specimens. 



" Meteorological and magnetic observations have been continued 

 at Scotia bay under the superintendence of Mr. Mossman. Mr. 

 Bruce has offered to the Argentine government the use of this 

 station and his supplies there and passage thither by the Scotia 

 for four scientists if the government will maintain the station dur- 

 ing the coming year and undertake the relief of those stationed 

 there at the end of that time. 



" The Scotia will leave for the South Orkneys on or about the 

 15th instant and, after a few days at Scotia bay, will proceed to 

 the south and east for further deep-sea explorations, returning, in 

 all probability, by way of Cape Town and reaching Scotland toward 

 the end of June."
