20 to 24 hours were spent making observations at one locality, 

 Work was conducted both during daylight hours and at night 

 in an attempt to eliminate inherent errors in investigations 

 limited to only one period of the day. 



The results of this survey are embodied in six sepa- 

 rate reports covering bacteriology, marine biology, sub- 

 marine geology, oceanography, and the data in appendix 

 form. 



The several fields of interest covered by the survey 

 required the capabilities of a number of experts who 

 specialize in the marine sciences. The following per- 

 sonnel at the University of Southern California contributed 

 either full or part time to the survey work: 



Dr. K. O. Emery, Marine Geologist 



Dr. Olga Hartraan, Marine Biologist 



Dr. Daniel Ivler, Bacteriologist 



Dr. T. Mitwer, Bacteriologist 



Dr. Sydney C. Rittenberg, Marine Bacteriologist

Dr. Richard B. Tibby, Physical Oceanographer 



Mr. D. Brostoff, Bacteriologist 



Mr. John V. Byrne, Marine Geologist 



Mr. Bonn S. Gorsline, Marine Geologist 



Mr. John R„ Grady, Marine Geologist 



Mr. L. Hoachstein, Bacteriologist 



Mr. P. Kramer, Bacteriologist
