The processing of the data and the con- 

 struction of the station curves given in table 13 

 were prepared using techniques described by 

 Montgomery (1954), Montgomery and Wooster 

 (1954), Stroup (1954), and King et al. (1957). 



The zooplankton volumes given in table 

 12 were obtained by first removing all organisms 

 over 5 cm. in length and all non-food organisms 

 (King and Hida 1954) over 2 cm. in length and 

 then measuring the wet, drained volunne in the 

 manner described by King and Demond (1953). 



FUTURE PUBLICATION 



It is expected that the data from Smith 

 cruise 46 and the Paragon will be used as the 

 basis for at least two future reports and parts 

 of the data will be incorporated in other bio- 

 logical reports. A report discussing the com- 

 mercial potentialities of the area is now being 

 prepared by the authors of this report, and a 

 report comparing the oceanographic conditions 

 with those during the summer of 1955 (McGary 

 et al. 1956) is contemiplated. The results of 

 the albacore stomach analyses will be used in 

 a general study of the food of the albacore and 

 the plankton data in oceanwide indicator organ- 

 ism studies.
