Bibliography 
It would be unfair to bring the reader just so far in the 
science of the sea and thén to leave him stranded. Several — 
books and papers are mentioned in the text, but it is clear 
that they are not completely representative. Therefore, it is 
in order to mention a few works that will prove helpful i in 
following the subject further. 
For a general, technical survey of the field of oceanogra- 
phy, the reader can do no better than to obtain a copy of 
The Oceans by Sverdrup, Johnson and Fleming, Prentice-— 
Hall, Inc. New York, 1942. It is a rather formidable volume, 
replete with exhaustive tables, mathematical formulas, etc., 
but it also contains portions that are readable for a layman. 
For those who are interested in ocean waves, a very good 
book is Ocean Waves and Kindred Geophysical Phenomena 
by Vaughan Cornish, Cambridge University Press, 1934. 
The book itself is not nearly as terrifyingly technical as one 
might infer from the title, and it is beautifully illustrated. 
G. P. Putnam’s Sons has published a series of nature field 
books of a size that can easily be carried in the pocket. Vol- 
umes of the series that might be of interest are: 
Alexander, Birds of the Ocean 
Breder, Field Book of Marine Fishes of the Atlantic Coast | 
Olcott, Field Book of the Skies. 
An interesting geological book is The Changing World of
