about in the depression under a flush hatch-handle. From the anchor the 
same morning, a small, white holothurian. 
Iam much taken with Paradise Harbor and the opportunities that it may 
have for biological research. 1 feel sure that biologically at least it 
will justify its name. 
Tne harbor has its ice conditions but I read in the coast pilot or 
sailing directions, that though there is considerable movement of ice

sketches. 
Moreover, Paradise Harbor indents the mainland, not one of its ijiany

There is an excellent station site, that of the Argentine Almirante 
Brown Base, with not unworthy boat shelter nearby. Hope we can get title 
to the place and erect entirely new buildings. Again the high cliff face.,
