The Results of Heat-Flow Measurements Measurements have been made in the Pacific by workers in ships of the Scripps Institution (Revelle and Maxwell, 1952; Von Herzen, 1959; Foster, 1962) and by Uyeda et al. (1962). In the Atlantic, measurements have been made by Bullard (1954), Bullard and Day (1961), Reitzel (1961), Gerard et al. (1962), Nason and Lee (1963) and Lister (unpublished). The earlier Pacific results are plotted in Figs. 6 and 7 and the Atlantic r

Heat-flow measurements in the Atlantic ; the value in the north-west corner of the figure is an unpublished result by J. Reitzel in which the recorder went off the scale. they have kindly allow^ed me to use. Lister has made a number of measure- ments to the south of the area shown in Fig. 8 which lie in the range to (jLcal/cm2 sec. Reitzel has obtained [ sec 500 km north-west of Bermuda and Gerard et al. to [jLcal/cm^ sec in the western basin of the North Atlantic. The values on the East Pacific Rise and on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge show^ a large spread, the heat flow on the west of the rises being usually greater than elsewhere and occasionally above 8 (jical/cm^ sec. This is shown by the histo- grams in Fig. 9 and in the section in Fig. 10; it is also confirmed by further.
