BLANK FORMS OF RECORDS. 
The following blank forms of records kept on board the Albatross will be found 
useful not only as a basis for making similar forms, but as reminders of the valuable 
information that can be given, in tabulated form, on l)oard of seagoing vessels by 
the expenditure of very little time and labor. It will be observed that some of the 
data are lepeated on tAvo or more forms. This method admits of the subdivision of 
reports, all complete in themselves, and made out on sheets of ordinary and convenient 
size. 
Blank forms from the United States Hydrographic Oihce, and from other branches 
of the United States Government, are not included, as they are furnished to vessels 
by the Department requiring special information. 
All hydrographic or other information obtained by the Albatross that is useful 
for making or correcting charts, or sailing directions, is furnished to the United States 
Hydrographic Ollice and United States Coast and Geodetic Survey.
