Antarctica
Antarctica, the world's highest and most isolated continent, has so far remained a safe haven for unique and complex systems of marine and terrestrial life. Scientific studies there led to the discovery of a hole in the ozone layer and have increased understanding of the greenhouse effect. This introduction to the continent describes its unique natural history and its role in determining the ecological future of the planet
Remote health care for Antarctica
An occupational health unit has been established by British Antarctic Survey (BAS) which utilises the philosophy and principles employed to provide health care for offshore workers on the UK continental shelf. The central problem is the distance and time which separates the remote worker from the sophisticated diagnostic and specialist services which other sections of the community enjoy. BAS has resolved this by the establishment of a coordinati…

Age Criteria for the African Elephant
1. The paper is based on a collection of 385 lower jaws of the African elephant ( Loxodonta a. africana Blumenbach) from western Uganda. 2. Thirty age groups are described and illustrated, which are related to the progress of eruption and wear of the six teeth in each side of the lower jaw. 3. Correct identification of individual teeth in the series is essential and several checks are described. Thus, when length is plotted against width for the …
The Elephant Seal industry at South Georgia
South Georgia, one of the Dependencies of the Falkland Islands, lies in the South Atlantic Ocean between lats. 53° 50′ and 55° S. and longs. 35° 50′ and 38°15' W. The island is about 120 miles long from north-west to south-east and its greatest breadth is under thirty miles: it is heavily glacierized with an indented coastline and a backbone of high mountains rising to over 9000 ft
Seal-marking methods
For many years, in the course of fisheries investigations, large numbers of fish have been marked by means of numbered metal tags. Other marking methods, such as dyeing, branding and clipping of fins, have all been tried but found to be either unsuitable, or difficult of application, or less satisfactory in some way. Since 1924 the Discovery Committee has marked some thousands of whales. For this purpose it has been found convenient to use stainl…
