Although "prior publication reference" is provided for in the proposal form, authors are urged to submit 

 proposals for new names to the BGN 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 Richard B. Perry (National Ocean Survey), Chairman, Norman Z. Cherkis (Naval 

 Research Laboratory), Bonnie A. McGregor (Geological Survey), Jack W. Pierce (Smithsonian Institution), 

 and Joshua I. Tracey, Jr. (Geological Survey). The above members serve as individuals with special knowl- 

 edge, not as representatives of agencies. Richard R. Randall, Executive Secretary of BGN, serves as ex 

 officio and reports to BGN on committee activities. 



Others who have served on the Committee since it was first constituted late in 1962, with their Govern- 

 ment affiliation while serving, are A.W. Anderson, John O. Boyer, Philip M. Cohen, Ned A. Ostenso, and 

 James B. Rucker (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 and G. Leonard Johnson (Office of Naval Research), Harry Ladd (Geological Survey), 

 H.W. Menard (Executive Office of the President), Harley D. Nygren, Harris B. Stewart, Jr., Lome 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 234 times since its first meeting on January 9, 1963. Record maintenance 

 and gazetteer preparation was carried out by the Scientific Data Department of the Defense Mapping Agency 

 Hydrographic/Topographic Center. Research has been provided successively by staff geographers 

 Fred G. Alberts, William Lloyd, Boyd D. Peterson, William R. Garren, Patricia Thompson, Holly S. Schue, 

 Ronald Knollenburg, Alan S. Wiley, and Anthony Gregory.
