THE BASIN OF THE GULF OF MEXICO. 



By J. E. Hilgard, M. N. A. S. 



A Communication to the National Academy of Sciences made 

 Nov. 18, 1880, by authority of C. P. Patterson, Supt. U. S 

 Coast and Geodetic Survey. 



At the meeting of the National Academy of Sciences 

 in New York, Nov. 18th, 1880, Mr. J. E. Hilgard pre- 

 sented, on the part of Hon. C. P. Patterson, Superintend- 

 ent of the U. S. Coast and Geodetic Survey, a model of 

 the Gulf of Mexico constructed from numerous soundings 

 taken in ihe progress of that work. The accompanying 

 plate is a reduced plan of the model, the full size of 

 which is 24X32 inches, being on a horizontal scale of 

 1 : 2,400,000, and on a vertical scale of 1 inch : 1000 fath- 

 oms ; making the proportion of horizontal to vertical 

 scales 1 : 33. The plan shows the horizontal curves of 

 every 500 fathoms ot depth, as well as the curves of 100 

 and 10 fathoms. The same curves are delineated on the 

 model, the forms of which, however, are shaped in con- 

 formity with all the detail obtained from the soundings, 

 those inside of 100 fathoms being quite numerous, vary- 

 ing according to the configuration and importance of the 

 locality, while beyond the 100 fathom line, where the 

 work pertains rather to physical geography than to navi-
