PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS, 671 
NOMENCLATURE. 
This is always an important point in geography, and I have 
constructed the map exhibited, showing all the names that have 
been proposed and a few more which I suggest as probably useful. 
The subdivision of terms employed is— 
{ a. Slopes or shore plateaux. 
b. Oceanic plateaux. 
Basins ... ... ¢. Ocean channels and basins. 
Deans. - .... -« 4. Deeps. 
Plateaux ... 
The following is the list of names by which each of these is 
distinguished :— 
Atlantic Ocean. 
1. Ross Deep. 13. C. Verde Plateau. 
2. Havergal Deep. 14, Monaco Deep. 
3. Bromley Plateau. 15. Nares Deep. 
4, Lizard Deep. 16. Carib Basin. 
5. S. Georgia Plateau. 17. Bartlett Deep, 
6. Falkland Island Plateau. 18. Mexico Basin. 
7. Wild Rise. 19. Luhm Deep. 
8. Buchanan Deep. 20. Iceland Plateau.
