CHILE, ECUADOR, PERU 



Very little information could be obtained on 

 oceanographic activities in the countries on the west 

 side of South America, except Peru. For some time 

 records of sea-surface temperatures have been kept 

 at the Peruvian Escuela Naval at La Punta and the 

 Compaiila Administradora del Guano has kept 

 records of several kinds and has assisted in the 

 prosecution of research on oceanic phenomena. It 

 is planned to extend the oceanographic work of both 

 the Hydrographic and Meteorologic services, but 

 detailed information on them is not available. The 

 outlook is good for significant contributions from 

 those sources.
