SEDIMENTATION IN THE DEEP SEA 641 



shallow and economically important parts o£ the seas round N VV Europe. 

 It is to be hoped that the "Joii^t Commission of Oceanography" set up 

 by the UNESCO at the Brussels meeting in 1951, aided by the new- 

 founded "Deep Sea Journal," will lead to such an organization of the 

 work in great depths. The Pacific Ocean is at the same time the vastest 

 and the most interesting field of such research. It is my hope that this 

 congress will adopt a resolution recommending international coopera- 

 tion in this vast new field of scientific research.
