Sea forms. Skogsberg (1928, 1939) has written two papers on species
from South Georgia. Neale’s (1967) contribution based upon 1 020
specimens belonging to 26 species from Halley Bay, Coats Land is
important in that it is based upon a reasonably sized sample. This is
brought properly in perspective when it is realized that in terms of the

podocopid ostracod fauna, Mueller recorded 34 species, Brady two,
Daday three and Benson seven identified forms. Neale’s conclusions
therefore allow some discussion of circumpolar distribution of the group
almost for the f i s t time. There is obviously much difficulty in comparing faunas from East and West Antarctica at our present stage of
knowledge and Neale’s (1967) attempts to evaluate the nomenclature
