24 THE ATLANTIC. [ CHAP. I. 
A staff of officers, many of them surveyors, and already dis- 
tinguished by their knowledge of various branches of practical 
science, were carefully selected from a large number of volun- 
teers; and a civilian scientific staff, consisting of a director, his 
secretary, three naturalists, and a chemist, were appointed on 
the recommendation of the Committee of the Royal Society.
