this area. From a marine biological point of view the biological po¬ 
tential is high and holds promise of even more interesting things to come 
than bright lemon yellow invertebrates representing two widely different 
phyla. 
On the way from Melchior to Port Lockroy the ship headed southeast¬ 
ward down the Schollaert Channel. On the way she entered each of the 
great bays indenting the northern coast of Anvers Island; first Lapeyrdre 
lying between the Hump and the Gourdon Peninsula; next Patagonia Bay be¬ 
tween the Gourdon and Thompson peninsulas; and lastly, Fournier Bay and 
Inverleith Harbor which indents its eastern shore. 
Some seals, not many in any case, were basking on ice-cakes or small 
bergs in each of these bodies of water; a killer whale (orca.) was seen in 
Patagonia Bay - little else, only a few stray birds, other than the omni- 
present Wilson's storm petrels, a Dominican gull or two, a skua, now and 
then, a tern, a giant petrel, and a snow petrel or sheath-bill. Saw more 
seals than birds. A foggy overcast somewhat dismal day; ice cliffs round 
about. 
Spotted no "sites" likely or unlikely.
