This group represents a number of stations to the north and on the north-east side of South Georgia; it includes the area shown by Mr Clowes in his water-movement chart to be that of a mixing of the two currents, but also includes stations on the A line which should be Bellingshausen water and on the C and D lines which should be of Weddell Sea water. Yet, as will be seen on reference to Appendix I, all the stations in this group have a d

Yet, as will be seen on reference to Appendix I, all the stations in this group have a definite character as compared with other groups. This suggests that the area of mixture is greater than is indicated by some of the hydrological data, and it is actually supported by the temperature chart shown in Fig. 41. As in Group 2, Chaetoceros criophilum is present in moderate numbers and
