Paradise Harbor area - including the Chilemi Gabriel Gonzalez Videla Base 
and the Argentine Almirante Brown Station. 
This area le said to have breeding colonies of three species of pen- 
guins, I tove IK) reason to doubt this but I saw only two, Gentoo and Chin- 
strap, in goodly ntM)era and in several places, Mesaiers of the Chilean 
Base said the Addles are not far away at "Patema,” which was written out 
for loe. This locality, if it is one, 1 have not been able to locate. I 
expect by correspor^dence later to run it down. There are extensive shag 
(blue-eyed corraorant) colonies in this area or nearby on Cape Duthiers, 
"just around the comer" on the way to Anvord Bay, Cape Pigeons, and about 
all the birds seen elsewhere. 
The Chilean station is built upon an island thickly populated by Gen- 
too and Chins trap penguins, ri^t in aiaong them. Seeing what's here, what 
It ime done to the birds, in part at least, ai^ the filth that surrounds 
the buildings as a result, I would recoiaraend against locating any station 
on a bird rookeryj it is neither fair to man or beast. 
On a point across the harbor on Lemire Island is a penguin rookery 
(birds not identified - did not get close enough), and on Bryde Island on 
a rocky ledge or islet hard by is alrost a good-sized penguin rookery, around 
the shores of which a nursber of seals tiat I take to be crab-eaters, had 
hauled out. 
Mosses collected yielded Collesbola in modest quantity.

Two dredge hauls made on rocky bottom, 33 Gtnd 4l fms,, returned a 
variety of invertebrates, perhaps the greatest variety seen so far; sponges.
