Sli]) faults and heat flow in the mid-oceanic ridge of the east Pacific. The east- west trending black bars indicate the slip faults which cross the crest of the mid- oceanic ridge. Tho l)and of high heat flow associated with the crest of the ridge apy)ears to pass through the western Ignited States. (After .>hniard, I960.) High heat flow has been observed along the crest of the mid-oceanic ridge in the Pacific, as well as at a few points in the North Atlantic. The slip faults in the southeast Paciflc, although probable, are largely hypothetical. Insufficient data ha\e been obtained to indicate, whether slip faults have offset the crest of the mid-oceanic ridge in the eciuatorial or South Pacific. From Macquarie Island to Easter Island soundings are sparse, but a mid- oceanic ridge can be delineated. The belt of epicenters continues without interruption. The scatter of plotted epicenters is somewhat greater here than elsewhere, because the accuracy of location is about 2'^ to 5°, but it coincides.
