COURTESIES OF 1934 



THE courtesy and kindness of a multitude of friends en- 

 couraged us from the inception to the end of our adven- 

 ture. Mr. Harrison Williams and the late Mr. Mortimer L. 

 Schiff stand at the head of our benefactors, and the 

 Trustees of the New York Zoological Society have been 

 close seconds. The activities of this present year of 1934 

 have been made possible by a grant from the National 

 Geographic Society. Further contributions are from Childs 

 Frick, Herbert L. Satterlee, Irving Taylor, Ogden Mills, 

 C. W. Wickersham, John B. Clark, William A. Read, 

 Silas W. Howland, Sidney A. Mitchell, Edwin S. S. Sunder- 

 land, Edward W. Mallinckrodt, Jr., Danforth Miller, 

 Charles A. Marshall, Auguste Richard, Newbold L. Her- 

 rick, Robert P. Bass. 



Dr. Gilbert Grosvenor, President of the National Geo- 

 graphic Society, was most considerate in the details of his 

 offer of making possible the 1934 dives. He demanded no 

 condition of a new record, which is why I gave it to him. 

 Mr. E. John Long, of the Geographic Society's staff, spent 

 many weeks with us, a welcome guest who took full charge 

 of the publicity, thereby relieving us of a most onerous 



task. Permission has kindly been granted to use duplicate
