. The depths of the ocean; a general account of the modern science of oceanography based largely on the scientific researches of the Norwegian steamer Michael Sars in the North Atlantic. Oceanography. OCEANOGRAPHICAL INVESTIGATIONS 17 being in very deep water, including the deepest cast hitherto recorded, viz. 5269 fathoms, in the vicinity of Guam Island in the Ladrone group. The deposit-samples brought home were examined by Flint,1 who records many distinct patches of Fli Diatom ooze within the tropics, but Murray has examined these samples, and declares them to be identical with what he has called Radiolarian ooze; the frustules of the large Coscinodiscus rex are, however, very numerous in these deposits. In 1899-1900 the The Albatross " Albatross, 1899-1900. carried on oceano- graphical observations throughout the tropical portions of the Pacific, under the personal direction of Alexander Alexander Agassiz, who issued the Asassiz- scientific results in a series of profusely illus- trated memoirs, under the auspices of the Museum of Compara- tive Zoology, Cam- bridge, Mass. In 1899-1900 the The Dutch steamer " Sib- "Sib°sa-" oga" investigated the oceanographical condi- tions in the seas of the Dutch East Indies. Though limited to such a circumscribed area the observations are of great value, and the results are being issued in English, German, or French, under the editorship of the leader of the expedition, Max Weber of Amsterdam. Max Weber. During the years 1901 to 1903 the British National The Antarctic Expedition on board the " Discovery " under Scott, ScoHc° the German South Polar Expedition on board the " Gauss " The "Gauss. under von Drygalski, and the Swedish South Polar Expedition on board the "Antarctic" under Otto Nordenskjold, were The Professor Carl Chun.
