studies of coliform bacteria in the sea 73 



Acknowledgments 



The authors gratefully express appreciation for the interest and advice 

 of Dr. Selman A. Waksman, who initiated our laboratory studies, and of 

 Dr. Alfred C. Redfield, who has encouraged our investigations of sewer 

 outfalls and estuarine conditions. The contributions of Dr. William L. 

 Ford, who conducted the hydrographic investigations and collected the 

 salinity data used in this report, and of Mr. C. M. Weiss, who made the 

 bacterial counts at New Bedford, are gratefully acknowledged.
