BEACH EROSION LITERATURE 



The 'first national conference on Coastal Engineering,, sponsored 

 by the Department of Engineering and the Division of Engineering 

 Extension of the University of California, was held at Long Beach, 

 California, in October 1950* The 'Proceedings of the conference, pub- 

 lished by the Council on Wave Research, may be ordered from Professor

 Berkeley 4, California., A second conference was held in Houston, Texas, 

 in November 1951, the Proceedings of which will probably be published 

 at a later date „ 



The contents of the Proceedings of the first conference are as 

 follows: i
