 by the FIDS following their survey of 1948-49, 

 marks the eastern limit at sea level of the meta- 

 morphic rocks in this part of Coronation Island. 



SCHLIEPER BAY: bay about 1.5 mi. wide, en- 

 tered between Romerof Head and Weddell Pt., 

 along the S. coast of South Georgia; in 54°03'S., 

 37°52'W. Schlieper Bay was named between 

 1905-12 after the director of the Compania Argen- 

 tina de Pesca. 



SCHLOSSBACH, CAPE: cape forming the S. side

Schneider Range: (in about 73°40'S., 3°20'W.) 

 the decision of May 1947 has been VACATED, as 

 it is not possible to correlate the feature with sub- 

 sequent survey work. 



SCHOKALSKY BAY: bay, about 9 mi. wide at 

 its entrance and indenting 6 mi., between Mt. 

 Calais and Cape Brown along the E. coast of Alex- 

 ander I Island; in 69°15'S., 69°55'W. Hampton 

 Gl. discharges tremendous amounts of ice into 

 the head of Schokalsky Bay at a steep gradient 

 causing the ice there to be extremely broken 

 and irregular, and discourages use of this bay and 

 glacier as an inland sledging route onto NE. Alex-
