Although ‘‘reference to prior publication’”’ is provided for in the proposal form, it is hoped that 
authors will refer new names to the Board before publication. Every effort will be made to act on them 
in time to accommodate publication schedules. 
Advisory Committee on Undersea Features 
All of the decisions by the Board on Geographic Names on these undersea names have been approved 
upon the recommendation of its Advisory Committee on Undersea Features. The present members of 
the advisory committee are Joshua I. Tracey, Jr. (Geological Survey), Chairman, Philip M. Cohen (National 
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration), G. Leonard Johnson (Office of Naval Research), Richard B. 
Perry (National Ocean Survey), Jack W. Pierce (Smithsonian Institution) and Richard R. Randall, Executive 
Secretary of BGN, ex officio. The members serve as individuals with special knowledge, not as 
representatives of agencies. 
Others who have served on the Committee since it was first constituted late in 1962, with their 
Government affiliation while serving, are A.W. Anderson, John O. Boyer and Ned A. Ostenso (NOAA), 
John V. Byrne and Joe S. Creager (National Science Foundation), John Lyman (National Science 
Foundation/Fish and Wildlife Service), Fredrick M. Edvalson (Naval Oceanographic Office), John B. 
Hersey (Office of Naval Research), Harry Ladd (Geological Survey), H.W. Menard (Executive Office of 
the President), Harley D. Nygren, Harris B. Stewart, Jr., Lorne G. Taylor and Miller J. Tonkel 
(Environmental Science Services Administration), Roger S. Revelle (Department of the Interior), Charles D. 
Rouse (Defense Mapping Agency) and I. Eugene Wallen (Smithsonian Institution). Meredith F. Burrill, 
Executive Secretary of BGN for many years, was an ex officio member from 1962 to 1973. 
The Committee has met more than 200 times. Record maintenance and gazetteer preparation are 
done by the Support Division of the Defense Mapping Agency Hydrographic/Topographic Center. 
Research assistance has been provided by, successively, staff geographers Fred G. Alberts, William Lloyd, 
Boyd D. Peterson, and William R. Garren.
