open water channels to permit ©pen water . An attempt in a suit¬ 
able vessel should be made to prove or disprove this contention. 
Port Lockroy deserves, better than a third place rating. It hurts to 
put so lovely a place so low, especially in view of its swell-free harbor 
in which a, vessel might safely be wintered (shall have to ask Capt. Mac 
about this), and where we found the littoral faunal so very rich; but 
Paradise Harbor I feel quite strongly has the far greater biological po¬ 
tential. 
Within Arthur Harbor, I favor the British Base, that area or site 
over Bonaparte Point, or the so-called Bravo site, for reasons stated 
elsewhere in this report, particularly in the discussion of the Arthur 
Harbor area (section II, pages .) 
I would urge that we endeavor to get full and clear "title" to all 
three places by transfer, as gifts, or by some reimbursement, permitting 
the present builders, or owners of the huts in sites in Port Lockroy and 
Paradise Harbor, to remove buildings and contents should they care to do 
so. We should by all means start anew, and with our own, new buildings, 
or structures. 
And now? What are we waiting for? Let's go!
