 10 miles in any dimension. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS 



Acknowledgments are necessarily 

 made in two groups: those associated 

 with Mr. Moore at the Bureau of Com- 

 mercial Fisheries Biological Labora- 

 tory, Brunswick, Georgia, for the 

 chemical analyses; and those asso- 

 ciated with Dr. Gorsline attheOceano- 

 graphic Institute of the Florida State 

 University, Tallahassee, Florida, for 

 the mechanical-organic analyses. 



Acknowledgment is made to the fol- 

 lowing individuals for contributions in 

 the analysis and assembling of the 

 chemical material: To Edward Cohen 

 (former chemist) for work in developing 

 the methods and initiating the analyses; 

 and to various members of the labora- 

 tory staff who assisted in one way or 

 another, and especially to Herbert R. 

 Gordy who assisted in the actual analy- 

 ses and assembling of the data. 



Dr. Sidney W. Fox, director of the 

 Oceanographic Institute of the Florida 

 State University, very kindly made 

 available office and laboratory space, 

 equipment and travel expenses involved 

 in the mechanical-organic analysis of 

 the Gill samples. Dr. H. G. Goodell of 

 the Department of Geology of the 

 Florida State University offered sug- 

 gestions for the analysis of the data 

 which made possible several time- 

 saving changes in the procedures. He 

 also made available the facilities of 

 the Sediment Research Laboratory of 

 the Departnnent of Geology. Mr. Orrin 

 H. Pilkey, research assistant in the 

 Oceanographic Institute, carried out 

 many of the routine analyses and 

 assisted in the tabulation and computa- 

 tion of the sedimentologic data. Dr. 

 Orville L. Bandy of the University of 

 Southern California has agreed to study 

 the foraminiferal contents of the sedi- 

 ments, and Dr. Neil C. Hulings of 

 Texas Christian University is com- 

 pleting an examination of the Ostracoda.
