The densest concentration of Copepoda occurred at 1700 o'clock on the 10th. During the night of February 12-13 the numbers of Copepoda were nothing like so high as those for the ioth-nth, but the young euphausians were as well represented. Chaetognatha, Amphipoda and larger Euphausiacea were taken in small numbers. Records ii and 12 Dates: 18-19. ii. 26. Times: 2310-1330 and 1500-2000. Position: 51° 57' S, 320 31' W to 530 21' S, 34 53' W. Distance by ship's log: 109-4 miles. These two records form a continuous series in a line approaching South Georgia from the north-east, broken only by an interval in time when the ship stopped for soundings (1330-1500). The records show (Fig. 9) a dense belt of the diatom Thalassiothrix ant- 5157 S 32°3l'W THALASSIOTHRIX ANTARCTICA SHIP STOPPED FOR SOUNDINGS.
