the School of Fisheries at the University 

 of Washington. A larger vessel has recently 

 been provided and will permit the re- 

 establishment of a research program at sea. 



The basic annnal budget of the Labo- 

 ratories has been about $7(),(X)(), appro- 

 priated by the State of Washington through 

 the University, and an approximately equal 

 sum has been obtained from Federal and 

 other contracts. However, additional funds 

 from governmental agencies are to be an- 

 ticipated to support the investigations of 

 the new Department of Oceanography. 



The results of research studies are re- 

 ported in the Supplementary Series of the 

 Oceanographic Laboratories and comprise 

 reprints appearing in scientific journals. 

 This series includes about 150 reports. Mon- 

 ographic papers appear in Publications in 

 Oceanography, fourteen of which have been 

 published. 



THE WOODS HOLE OCEANOGRAPHIC 



INSTITUTION 



The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institu- 

 tion was established in 1930 as a corpora- 

 tion in the Commonwealth of Massachu- 

 setts. It is managed by a Board of Trus- 

 tees on which men of science and men of 

 affairs, selected because of special inter- 

 ests in oceanography, are balanced. 



The Institution is supported by endow- 

 ment of $2,500,000, chiefly from the Rock- 

 efeller Foundation, but supplemented by 

 gifts from the Carnegie Corporation and 

 private donors. Its annual income is ap- 

 proximately $140,000. In addition it ex- 

 pends annually some $800,000 derived from 

 governmental and other contracts. 



In addition to a laboratory building, 

 now greatly overcrowded, the Institution 

 owns and operates two ships suitable for 

 extended work at sea and several smaller 

 vessels adequate for work along shore. 



Originally the staff was recruited from the 

 faculties of universities and was in resi- 

 dence chiefly during the summer. The In- 

 stitution consequently afforded facilities for 

 oceanographic research and for graduate 

 training for various universities. More re- 

 cently a limited staff has been retained 



throughout the year whih^ others work full 

 time on governmental contracts. However, 

 the policy of cooperation with the univer- 

 sities through part-time appointments con- 

 tinues. The work of the staff is directed 

 only in.sofar as the obligations of contracts 

 demand, or as is implied in the selection of 

 staff members, and as is necessary in co- 

 ordinating the use of the research vessels. 

 The Institution publishes, in collabora- 

 tion with the Massachusetts Institute of 

 Technology, a serial entitled Papers in 

 Physical Oceanography and Meteorology. 

 Most reports, however, appear in the reg- 

 ular periodicals devoted to biology, chem- 

 istry, geophysics, geology, and meteorology. 

 Reprints of these are bound in an annual 

 volume for distribution without charge to 

 nearly 600 libraries throughout the world. 

 Five hundred and fifty contributions had 

 been issued by the end of 1950. 



BINGHAM OCEANOGRAPHIC 



FOUNDATION AND SEARS FOUNDATION 



FOR MARINE RESEARCH AT YALE 



UNIVERSITY 



The Bingham Oceanographic Foundation 

 was established in 1930 by endowment 

 from Mr. Harry Payne Bingham to care for 

 the oceanographic collections made by Mr. 

 Bingham in 1925-27, and to maintain the 

 Bingham Oceanographic Laboratory for 

 oceanographic and marine biological re- 

 search. Permanently associated with the 

 Bingham Oceanographic Foundation is the 

 Sears Foundation for Marine Research, es- 

 tablished in 1937, which is intended to 

 support publications in oceanography and 

 marine biology. The Bulletin of the Bing- 

 Jiam Oceanographic Collection, now in its 

 twelfth volume, is devoted to the publica- 

 tion of the results of investigations, primar- 

 ily biological, under the Bingham Founda- 

 tion. The Journal of Marine Research, un- 

 der the Sears Foundation, is the principal 

 medium for the publication, in this coun- 

 try, of shorter articles dealing with the in- 

 terpretation and understanding of the sea 

 in all its aspects. Also published under this 

 Foundation are the Memoir Series for works
