Plankton and hydrological observations; station positions 1931-2. for further revision. Five teleosts new to science were collected, and specimens of Cottoperca gobio and Dissostichus eleginoides much larger than any previously recorded were obtained. The most important result of the survey was to demonstrate that hake {Merluccius hiibbsi) were to be found in moderate quantity on the shelf to the north and west of the Falkland Islands.
