Wilhelmina, Bay - Svend Foyn Harbor - Salvensen Cove area. 
In the afternoon of the eighth,, the ship moved into Wilhelmina Bay 
past Cape Anna. The Cape is reported to be the nesting site of countless 
cormorants and gulls but distance and not the best visibility precluded 
identification of the birds whose rookeries we glimpsed. 
Capt. McDonald who flew a helicopter reconnaissance of Wilhelmina 
Bay while the ship was lying-to reported: Ice cliffs on all sides, no 
building sites or boat shelters, 2 active gla,ciers, some fast ice. 
Hie night of February 8 the ship anchored in Svend Foyn Harbor at 
1940. We then took out our fish traps and made a tow -net haul. The 
dredge came up empty this evening,, so the haul was not counted and no 
other attempted because of the lateness of the hour. 
Shore collecting also proved impractical this evening and the next 
day when a successful dredge haul was completed and the fish traps lifted. 
^37-63 Dragged from 18 to 25 fathoms over sand and gravel bottom. The 
dredge bucket brought in a foot-long nemertean worm; several annelids; 
some small white starfish; a, considerable number of red sea-urchins of 
the species we have taken on a number of occasions; a rather largeophiuran 
differing, so far as I could make out, from all previously caught; a num¬ 
ber of bryozoan fragments; the first brachiopods of the cruise, quite tiny 
fellows though; 2 species of mollusks; a few amphipods (a,s usual); and 
about a dozen sea squirts. 
# 36-63 Thirteen notothoniid fish were trapped. Of these the largest measured 
15 inches in length, ik

the smallest, of apparently another species.
