Of these types of studies, cooperative beach erosion studies are 

 the type most frequently made when a community desires investigation of 

 its particular problem. As these studies have, consequently greater 

 general interest, information concerning studies of specific localities 

 contained in these quarterly bulletins will be confined to cooperative 

 studieso Information about other types of studies can be obtained upon 

 inquiry to this office ,

 equally between the United States and the cooperating agency. Informa- 

 tion concerning the initiation of a cooperative study may be obtained

 on a cooperative study has been transmitted to Congress, a summary 

 thereof is included in the next issue of this bulletin, A list of co-
