several species of amphipods, an isopod, and 4 or 5 species of sea squirts 
(ascidians). 
The dredge haul of March 1, on our return to Arthur Harbor was a re¬ 
peat of the earlier one with a host of annelid worms and mollusks. 
The fish trapping was equally rewarding, 88 notothuniid fish were 
taken in two sets off Janus Island together with starfish and nemertean 
worms. The fish ranged from J to l7# inches in length. One trap set in 
the rocky part of Bonaparte Inlet was crushed under a small berg that 
either drifted in with the tide or possibly was calved off during the night 
from the ice cliffs lining one side of the head of the inlet; considerable 
sea weed and a large clump of ascidians were dislodged as we got the 
jammed trap up after some hours labor, tried in forenoon, were successful 
with a grapnel in the afternoon. 
Brash-ice troubled our March 1 landing at the Base If site, recent 
snows had whitened the ground and the large lake a, few hundred yards be¬ 
hind the hut was thin-ice covered, as were the fresh water pools on the 
top of the bluff above the hut. A few lonesome-looking Adelies were 
standing on the sea-ward side of the bluff; skuas were about but in lesser 
numbers than in January. Where do they go; migrate as do the penguins? 
Torgeson Island was all but deserted, just a scattering of penguins about. 
Tne approaches to Arthur Harbor, because of the current running 
through it, is said to be quite free of sea-ice more or less the year 
round. 
Regretably during the January two hour squally we experienced in 
Arthur Harbor we did not get to see the Inlet; it is a remarkably protected.
