Description / Table of Contents: Decption Island is a caldera formed by the subsidence of a group of overlapping volcanoes along arcuate and radial faults. Three volcanic episodes occured after the formation of the caldera and the location of those post-caldera volcanoes is controlled by the fault pattern which limits the caldera. Although it is possible to establish the relative ages of the four volcanic episodes, there is little information as to their absolute ages. It is probable that the latest eruptions occurred in historic times. Petrographically the Deception Island suite is a local alkaline deviation from the normal andesite-rhyolite association of the South Shetland Islands. Its lavas are characterized by an unusually high soda content. The sequence of crystallization is analogous to that of melts of certain composition in the system MgO-FeO-SiO2 crystallizing under conditions of strong fractionation. The geochemistry of the Deception Island volcanic rocks is reviewed and four new chemical analyses are presented.

Description / Table of Contents: King George Island is almost entirely composed of igneous rocks; four volcanic episodes and one intrusive phase are represented. The oldest volcanics, which are believed to be Upper Jurassic in age, form a calc-alkaline suite with an andesite-rhyolite association. Recent field investigations indicate there is no evidence for the extensive areas of sedimentary rocks previously recorded. The presence of regionally metamorphosed xenoliths in the Jurassic Volcanos indicates that they rest upon a Basement Complex. The early Tertiary Andean Intrusive Suite, which is petrographically similar to that of Graham Land, forms an axial core to the island. The majority of the Jurassic Volcanics have been metasomatized by these intrusions and the significance of the resultant secondary minerals is discussed. A linear pattern of Tertiary and Quaternary vulcanicity has been demonstrated and lavas of three distinct episodes are described. One of these volcanic groups is of unknown age, whilst the others are known to be Middle Miocene and Recent. The lavas include dominant pyroxene-andesites, basaltic andesites, olivine-basalts and rare trachyandesites. The petrogenesis of the volcanic site is discussed and crystal separation is suggested as the most important factor in their evolution. A geological map, compiled from all the available rock collections and field notes, shows the distribution of the volcanic and intrusive groups.

Description / Table of Contents: The Antarctic fur seal Arctocephalus gezella has increased in numbers at Heard Island since the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) station was established in 1947. Increases have also been recorded at other breeding sites in the South Atlantic and South Indian Oceans this century, particulary at South Georgia. In the 1987-88 summer, fur seals at Heard Island were counted in several age and sex categories. The aims of the project were to determine the location of pupping sites, the extent of the pupping season and the size of the population, and to record the changes in numbers of animals ashore during the summer. Maps of the colonies and main haul-out areas, together with descriptions of census areas and tabulations of counts, provide a basis fr future comparison.

Description / Table of Contents: An annotated bibliography with subject and author index of over six hundred references relevant to Macquarie Island is presented.

Description / Table of Contents: Details of the Australian Collection of Antarctic Microorganisms, housed at the University of Tasmania, are presented, including a catalogue of ninety-eight strains isolated from the Antarctic continent, subantarctic islands and the Southern Ocean.

Description / Table of Contents: Biological studies commenced at the American station Wilkes in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica in 1957. In 1959 station operations were taken over by the Australian National Antarctic Research Expeditions (ANARE) and maintained until 1969 when Casey station was commissioned. This report reviews the information on the fauna obtained by ANARE up to 1980. Studies on invertebrates were limited to ectoparasites of birds and seals. Interest was mostly in the avian and mammalian fauna. Extensive banding of Adélie penguins, southern giant petrels and southern fulmars was undertaken for dispersion and breeding studies. Breeding behaviours of southern fulmars and Antarctic petrels were studied. The main breeding locality of the Weddell seal in the area was located. The southern elephant seal was found to breed at the Windmill Islands, the only known breeding site on the Antarctic continent.
