FOREWORD 



This report was prepared by the oceanographer, Lieut. Commander 

 F. A. Zeusler, United States Coast Guard. The data in general 

 was obtained from the official letters of the commanding officers of 

 the patrol vessels and the reports of the oceanographer. Unlike the 

 ice-patrol reports of the previous seasons, the individual letters of the 

 commanding officers have been omitted and the data prepared in 

 narrative style with appendices covering the points not taken up in 

 detail by the report proper. Attention is invited to the fact that the 

 table of data concerning the scientific stations taken during the 

 cruise of 1924 is also contained herein.
