I . INTRODUCTION 



A survey of an area northeast of the southern Bahama Islands was 

 conducted by USS SHELDRAKE (AGS-19) between 22 October and 25 November 

 1962. The purpose of this survey was to obtain geomagnetic and bathy- 

 metrlc data in an offshore area not previously subjected to systematic 

 surveys. This work was performed as part of U. S. Naval Oceanographic 

 Office joint projects M-15 and H-50. Location of the survey area is 

 shown in figure 1. 



The primary purpose of this report is to present the geomagnetics 

 phase of the survey. Bathymetric data are included for correlation 

 with the geomagnetic data and to aid in geologic interpretation.
