268 British Antarctic Expedition. 
as we approached it. At 5 p.m. I effected a landing on 
the western side of Franklin Island. The landing- 
place was a pebbly beach very much like the peninsula 
at Cape Adare. On reaching shore we gave three 
cheers for Sir James Clark Ross. Those who followed 
me were Captain Jensen, Lieutenant Colbeck, Mr. 
Bernacchi, Mr. Evans, and two sailors. Неге 
also Lieutenant Colbeck and Mr. Bernacchi took 
valuable magnetic observations. Vegetation was 
found on the rocks, and very interesting specimens 
of the rocks were collected, presenting new features 
to the geologist. There were very many penguins 
on the peninsula, many more than were left at Cape 
Adare when we said farewell to Camp Ridley. I 
named the south-eastern point of this island Cape 
Bernacchi, and some dangerous rocks which stretched 
some three or four miles out from this cape, Norway 
Rocks. The most interesting discovery was made, 
however, in the marine fauna department. Mr. 
Fougner secured a rich collection of the shallow- 
water fauna of that locality. Several photos were 
taken, and although only some few hours were spent 
on shore, rich results rewarded our efforts. On the 
roth at noon the Southern Cross was in lat. 77° 17’ 
and long. 168° E. We had, immediately towards the 
south, Mounts Erebus and Terror. The weather was 
but half clear, and some misty clouds were hanging 
round the tops of those mountains. The coast-line 
is ice-bound by a barrier about 7 ft. thick, and only 
here and there broken by a projecting rocky pro- 
montory. Cape Crozier was comparatively free from 
ice and snow. The Union Jack was under the gaff, and 
soundings were taken. We secured valuable photos
