Fig. 69. In October 1930 the 'Discovery 11' sailed southwards on a line of stations from Cape Town to Bouvet and South Georgia. The Antarctic convergence was crossed between Sts. 451 and 452. The first catch of young krill was made at St. 453 where a large quantity was recorded. At Sts. 453-455, all in the neighbourhood of Bouvet, a considerable quantity of krill was taken, at the last station over 6000. From Bouvet Island to South Georgia the track was along the edge or through the outskirts of the pack-ice. Young E. superba were taken at each of the stations where the metre net was fished. At St. 461 a twenty-four hours station was made, the results of which are dealt with in a separate section. At St. 468 no lOO-cm. nets were fished. In his report on this series of stations Dr Kemp, referring to E. superba, states: 'We found krill first of all to the of Bouvet where we took a quantity of adults and a great number of late larval and early post-larval forms, stages that we had scarcely seen hitherto. Along the pack adults were again taken at many points and at every station 30° 10°
