 1903-5, for Alfred Angot, Asst. Dir. of the French 

 Meteorological Service and member of the com-

ANILINE ISLET: small, flat-topped, rocky islet, 

 about 15 ft. in el., lying 1 mi. SSW. of Dartmouth 

 Pt. and about 150 yards off the E. shore of Moraine 

 Fjord, South Georgia; in 54°19'S., 36°28'W. The 

 islet appears on earlier charts, but the name was 

 given by FIDS in 1951 following a sketch survey. 

 The name is one of a group in the vicinity of Dart- 

 mouth Pt., derived from the chemical stains used 

 in the preparation of histological examination of 

 biological material collected by FIDS. 



ANN, CAPE: projecting cape on the coast of 

 Enderby Land, surmounted by Mt. Biscoe which 

 rises to over 1,500 ft. in el., about 66°13'S., 51°17'E. 

 Photographed from the air on Dec. 22, 1929 by a 

 Nor. exp. under Riiser-Larsen in a flight from the 



Norvegia, and on Jan. 14, 1930 photographed from 

 the Discovery by the BANZARE under Mawson. 

 Both expeditions believed the peak rising above 

 the cape to be the same as that disc, on March 16, 

 1831 and named Cape Ann by a Br. exp. under 

 Biscoe. The name Cape Ann, probably after Bis- 

 coe's wife, has been retained for the projecting 

 cape; the surmounting peak was named Mt. Biscoe 

 by Mawson. Not adopted : Cape Anne.
