Report on the Sixth and Seventh Victoria University of Wellington Antarctic Expedition 1962-63: VUWAE 6 & 7

Biology:

Biology:

Numerous samples of lichen and algae were collected from the Darwin region, and lichen, algae and moss from the Taylor Valley. Also collected from Taylor Valley were several species of "mites" and "springtails" and from along the coast samples of marine life.

As previous V.U.W. Antarctic Expeditions have also collected lichens, algae and moss and after handing them over to "interested" people outside the University have, in most cases, not received any indication that any work is being done on them, members of this year's expedition intend to do their own research work as far as possible, and at least publish a preliminary note on their findings.
