B 5 was repeated as a full station down to 500 m. depth. Two series of consecutive net hauls were taken: one of 23 hauls and one of 51 hauls. On February 6, the 'Discovery' sailed for the South Orkneys and the Bransfield Straits taking full routine stations 160 and 161 to the west and south-west of South Georgia; the remaining stations on her voyage farther south are not included in the present report.

Sts. 46-47 taken in April 1926, remainder in February 1927. At the end of May the ' William Scoresby' returned to South Georgia before running a line of stations across the Southern Ocean to Cape Town; here she repeated the five stations on the C line of the survey to compare with conditions found on this line on previous occasions in November, December and March of the previous year. It should be remembered that in planning the positions of the stations in all this early work, we were without any knowledge of the hydrological conditions such as is outlined in the previous section. The data on which this knowledge is based were collected at the same time as the plankton, and only subsequently, after their analysis and corre- lation, was this picture of the hydrological conditions round South Georgia Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the
