Synedra spaihulata, Schimper, was met with at each side of the island but only in small numbers. It was taken at the following stations: WS 36, WS 38, WS 39, WS 43, WS44, WS45and WS 51. Thalassiothrix. Thalassiothrix antarctica, Schimper, was abundant at St. 12 on the line approaching South Georgia from Tristan da Cunha in February 1926, where it was taken to the number of 4,600,000 in the N 70 V net used from 50 m. to the surface. Between this station and South Georgia the ' Discovery' passed through a dense zone of this diatom as revealed by the Continuous Plankton Recorder which was put into operation at
