This paper embodies the results obtained from an examination of material 

 collected in South Victoria Laud by Mr. T. V. Hodgson, biologist to the 

 British National Antarctic Expedition (1901-1903). It is merely intended 

 as a supplement to the official report, and is confined to description of 

 individual specimens, without any attempt to generalize or arrive at large 

 conclusions as to tlie structure of the district, From a much greater mass 

 of material the affinities of the various rocks have been worked out by Dr. 

 Prior, and it is only where the specimens have not been described in the 

 official report that any detail is entered upon, except that in some instances 

 slight variances have been met to which attention has been given.
