SOUTH 
(4) Depots South of Hut Point 
In spite of the fact that several depots have been laid to the 
south of Hut Point on the Barrier, the last being at the Gap (the 
entrance to the Beardmore Glacier), no future Expedition should 
depend on them as the heavy snowfall obUterates them completely. 
There is no record of the depots of any Expedition being made use 
of by any subsequent Expedition. No party in any of my Expe- 
ditions has used any depot laid down by a previous Expedition.
