thoxieai^ Chinstraps, anfl vhere ccaafortable accoinffioclationa my be found 
at ar^r one of three stations, Argentine, British, or Chilean, 
Mosses lichens were collected ashore on each of oiir visits to 
the Cove, February 10-11, and 23-24, at Alcoch Island and at Spring Point. 
In spray-fed pools, or mther pockets of water, aiaong the rocks on a roc&y 
islet tliat is virtually a part of Alcock, we dip-netted with a fine mshed 
net the yotmg sta^s of sotae aphipod, along with tl^ algae that were growing 
in til© saais little bodies of water. 
Two dredge hauls were mde here. The first on February 11, in 35 
off ti^ ship where the bott<MB nsay best be described as a "regular concrete 
Bsix," sand, gravel, and good-siased stones. Some of the stones and larger 
piece© of gravel carried encrusting bryozoans. There were also a few simll 
worms, amphipods and bits of algae in ’ttxe dr^ge. That our dredge did not 
bring up more bottom-dwelling organisms may have been due to the imde- 
quacy of our e^iiaent for this type of bottom, or that the place in which 
dredge was dropped was rather barren. Only anotter drag might tell. That 
opportunity was vouchsafed us on the 24th of Febrmry, This time there 
was Ea»J mixed in with the gravel in a depth of l6 fathoms. The dredge 
vl^n brought up was quite alive with a variety of invertebratesj three or 
sxire species of worms) disintegrated bite of some Jelly-fish-like organism) 
lydroids) an aloyonarian or antipatharian, both branching ar^ latticed bryo- 
zoans) starfish, one tiisy opiuran) and several crlnoids, the first time that 
we have taken theta in nmifcers. 
What might we have not gotten in other parts of the cove if thera had 
%fen tim and tlie facility for carrying otir oil'drul? dredge about in it.
