Northeastward by way of the Errera Channel one passes Danco Island 
and Couverville, and 45 miles from Port Lockroy, Cape Spigot with perhaps 
the second best (second largest) Chinstrap rookery (next to Alcock) in 
all Antarctica--and five miles beyond Cape Anna with its reported bird 
colonies, not seen and not identified as to inhabitants because of poor 
visibility. 
Within 50 miles of the base line, or within a like radius from each 
of the recommended sites one can have everything in the way of environ¬ 
ment, animal and plant life, that can be had in Palmerland, all that any 
Of" 
biologist might crave for study, terrestrial or marine, in our out of the 
laboratory. 
One hundred and 10 miles away to the northeastward also is Brialmont 
Cove and Alcock Island upon which is perhaps the greatest penguin colony 
in all Antarctica--all Chinstraps, which I hope will go unmolested for all 
time to come. He who has to study Chinstraps can do so on Deception Is¬ 
land where there are several hundred thousand, on Cape Spigot (Wunatak 
Negro) where even more have their home, or in the Paradise area. 
Paradise Harbor I rate as desireable for a land based station next 
to Arthur Harbor, and Port Lockroy third. Paradise Harbor has lots to 
recommend it, a good site though 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 a promise of 
richer dredging returns than we had from the two samplings we had. Here 
perhaps more than elsewhere it may be possible to study or at least in-
