The last of the V-shaped sections of the circumpolar cruise from South Georgia to the ice-edge far to the east and south, and from there to Cape Town was made in March 1933. I have not had the opportunity to examine the krill taken during this voyage but quote from John's report: "Although the places where we made many of our stations and the times at which we made them were places and times at which larval krill might have been expected we did not recognize any in our Catches of large numbers of adult krill have been few although we continued to tow a surface metre net in addition to the oblique series at every station. We saw no krill patches. Near the ice-edge, in 69° S, 9° E, we followed our usual practice on such visits of towing net after net, until.
