The primary aim of the book is practical — namely, to teach men with no 

 scientific training how they can do useful work for the advancement of 

 science ; it deals with the various aspects of the ocean chapter by chapter, 

 points out where new or renewed observations are needed, and includes only 

 sufficient theory to enable the observer to understand what kind of a brick 

 he is building into the pyramid of knowledge. 



" No yachtsman should be without this book, nor, for that matter, should any lands- 

 man. The yachtsman will find in it directions that may help him to add to the world's 

 fund of knowledge, and the man who lives in the city will gather from its pages sufficient 

 sea lore to give his seaside holiday a new fascination." — Standa, 



" Brings together instructions that otherwise are hard to find, given with the greatest 

 care, and tested by the practical experience of many lives. The handbook is, in fact, the 

 collective wisdom of the most active members of the Challenger Society." — Nature.
