Port Lockroy, Dorian Bay area. Base A. 
In this area the Gentoo penguins take the place of the Adelies but 
for this aajor difference bird life is as varied as elsewhere, although 
the number of individuals seems less than at Arthur Harbor, Three chin- 
straps were seen among the Gentoos here by Lt» Thoiz^s, I do not recall 
seeing any giant petrels here. Bookery space is more limited, resulting 
in fewer colonies, but those available are well populated. Hear at hand 
to, but not on the Base A site, are sizeable Gentoo colonies, and also 
at DanKjy Point on the waj' to Dorian Bay is another large one. A colony of 
terns holds forth on a rocky, steep-to headland near the entrance to this 
port, and a well populated shag colony occupies an island in Peltier Chan- 
nel (Priest Id?) on the way to South Bay, Doumer Island, where the Chilean 
Base "Yelcho" is located. Additional colonies at Gentoos occur down this 
way, also. Skuas, Wilson's storm i«trels and .sheath-bills were about, too, 
in the harbor. 
There was comparatively little vegetation to be seen, nothing at all 
to compare with the luxuriant vegetation that we were to see later in the 
Argentine - Berthe lot Island area. From taoss gathered here a few Collem- 
bola were Eerlesed, 
The more meager dredge hauls here, over a muddy bottom, in general 
character resemble those made at Arthur Harbor. Worm tubes were abundant j 
Ophiui*ans (seirpent or brittle stars) and ascidlans of species other than 
those obtained at Port Arthtir were washed from the mud. Additional specimens
