Northeastward by way of the Erretra Channel one passes Banco Island and 
Couverville, and k 3 miles from Port l-ockroy, Ca|^ Spigot with perhaps the 
second best (second lariat) Chinetrap rookery (next to Alcock) in all Ant- 
arctica— and five miles b^jror^ Cape Anrm with its reported bird colonies, 
not seen and not identified a® to inimbitants because of poor visibility. 
Within 50 allee of the base line, or within a like radius from each of 
the recOBKierided sites, one can have everything in the way of environment, 
anlnml and plant life, that can be had in Palmer land, all tljat any biologist 
might crave for study, terrestrial or marine, in or out of the laboratory. 
One huMred and 10 miles away to the northeasferard also is Brlalmont 
Gove ard Alcock Island upon which is perhaps the greatest penguin colony in 
all Antarctica— all Chinstmps, which I hope will go unKSlested for all time 
to co*^. He who bm to eti;^ Chinstraps can do 00 on Deception Island where 
there are several himdred thousand, on Cape Spigot (Ninmtak Negro) where 
even aiore have their how, or in the Paradise Harbor area. 
Paradise Harbor I rate as desirable for a land based station next to 
Arthur Harbor, and Port Lockroy third. Paradise Harbor has natch to recom- 
mend it, a good site tlsough at present occupied by an Inactive Argentine 
station, ”Almirante Brown," proximity to rookeries of three different species 
of penguins (so reported) though we only came upon two of them In our few 
days in this area, good fishing and e promise of richer dredging retitrns than 
we had from the two samplings we had. Here, perhaps more than elsewhere, it 
may be possible to study or at least
