 Index. 



The chapters that contain bibUographies are marked with asterisks. Some of the 

 bibliographies are extensive, containing references to the most important literature up 

 to the end of 1931. 



Other references to literature will be found in the reports now appearing on many 

 expeditions, such as those of the Meteor, Discovery II and William Scoresby, Dis- 

 covery I, WiLLEBRORD Snellius, Atlantis, Carnegie, Mabahiss, ct Cetera. To give 

 lists of the parts of all these reports would require too much space. For those who wish 

 to do so, by combining the references contained in the publications above listed or indi- 

 cated, with the hundreds of citations on later pages of this volume, a fairly comprehensive 

 bibliography of oceanographic Uterature can be compiled. 



Abstracts and lists of current oceanographic literature are contained in the Journal 

 du Conseil permanent international pour I'Exploration de la Mer, published in Copenhagen, 

 and in the Hydrographic Review, published by the International Hydrographic Bureau 

 in Monaco. Complete lists of Japanese publications on oceanography are given in Rec- 

 ords of Oceanographic Works in Japan, published by the National Research Council of 

 Japan, Tokyo. The Italian delegation of the Commission pour I'Exploration Scientifique 

 de la M^diterranee has published since 1928 a series entitled Bibliographia Oceanographica, 

 in which most current oceanographic literature is listed. 



Many periodicals, such as the Geographical Review, published by the American 

 Geographical Society, and the Geographical Journal, published by the Royal Geographical 

 Society, contain reviews, and there are many notices in the Annalen der Hydrographic 

 und maritimen Meteorologie, published by the Deutsche Seewarte. Records of much of 

 the oceanographic activities in the United States are to be found in the Transactions of 

 the American Geophysical Union, Section of Oceanography, published by the United 

 States National Research Council. The triennial report of the International Committee 

 on the Oceanography of the Pacific, under the auspices of the Pacific Science Association, 

 gave summaries of oceanographic activities in the Pacific for the periods 1926-1929'
