BEACH EROSION LITERATURE 



The second national conference on Coastal Engineering, sponsored 

 jointly by the Council on Wave Research, the Southwest Research Institute, 

 and Texas A & M Research Foundation, was held at Houston, Texas, in 

 November 1901. The Proceedings of this conference published by the 

 Coiincil on Wave Research and a] so that of the first conference held at

 Board, Vol, 6, No. l), may be ordered from Professor J. W, Johnson, Waves 

 Council, 2kS Hesse Hall, University of California, Berkeley k, California. 

 A third conference will beheld at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 

 in Boston in October 19^2.
